Last year, the U.S. Mint engaged Americans through a public input survey to vote for their favorite historic coins struck throughout our Nation’s history. The five top-rated coins were reviewed and recommended by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) and U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) with final selections approved by the Secretary of the Treasury.

These five special sets will include 24k 99.99% fine gold coins reissued as faithful representations of the historic designs with the original dates of issue to acknowledge each coin’s place in history. The coins will also bear a special Semiquincentennial Liberty Bell privy mark with the numeral “250.” Each coin will also have a 1 oz. silver companion medal, featuring new and modern designs, inspired by the 24-karat gold coins.

2026 SemiQ Dime Obverse

To celebrate America's Semiquincentennial in 2026, the Mint will be updating the circulating nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars that you find in your pocket change. These coins, as well as collectible pennies, can be purchased from the United States Mint in annual sets or select bags and rolls in 2026.

"The designs on these historic coins depict the story of America’s journey toward a ‘more perfect union,’ and celebrate America’s defining ideals of liberty. We hope to offer each American the opportunity to hold our nation’s storied 250 years of history in the palms of their hands as we Connect America through Coins."
