The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) is set to hold a two-day meeting on October 15th and 16th to review, among other items, the 2026 Semiquincentennial Dimes and Quarter designs. The meeting will be held via videoconference, and is open to the public.
On October 15th, the meeting will begin at 9:00 AM Eastern and end at 4:00 PM. On October 16th, the meeting will begin at 8:00 AM Eastern with a scheduled closing at 4:00 PM.
The current agent for the meeting is:
- Review and discussion of candidate designs for the 2026 Semiquincentennial Dime
- Review and discussion of candidate designs for the five 2026 Semiquincentennial Quarters
- Review and discussion of candidate designs for the 2026-2028American Eagle Platinum Proof Coins
- Possible review and discussion of candidate designs for other Semiquincentennial coinage
- Possible review and discussion of candidate designs for the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley Congressional Gold Medal
As part of legislation that created the new Dime and Quarter designs, it calls for…
The Secretary may issue quarter dollars in 2026 with up to five different designs emblematic of the United States Semiquincentennial. One of the quarter dollar designs must be emblematic of a woman’s or women’s contribution to the birth of the Nation or the Declaration of Independence or any other monumental moments in American History.
The 2026 Semiquincentennial coinage will enter circulation in 2026, as part of the celebrations related to the 250th anniversary of the foundation of the United States of America. While there will be the annual sets in 2026 such as the Proof and Silver Proof Sets, it is likely that the MInt will release additional, one-off products, as part of the festivities.
