This media kit includes resources about the Semiquincentennial (SemiQ) Program—a one-year-only, 250th anniversary celebration of our Nation’s founding.

To celebrate America's SemiQ in 2026, the Mint will be updating well-known American coinage, such as the circulating dime, nickel, and quarter, as well as the collectible penny, and half dollar. Other popular Mint products will feature special privy marks, dual dates, and design changes, as well.

2. Which circulating coins will change in 2026?
To celebrate America's SemiQ in 2026, the Mint will be updating well-known American coinage, such as the circulating dime, whose design has not changed in 80 years. The circulating quarter will feature five new designs related to American history. These coins, as well as the circulating nickel, will have a “1776 ~ 2026” dual date.

5. What will happen to circulating coin designs after 2026?
In 2027, the dime will revert to the immediately previous design. The 2027 reverse designs for the quarter and half dollar will celebrate Youth and Paralympic Sports as part of a new four-year program authorized by the Public Law 116-330.
