The United States Mint announced June 23 that it will produce 250,000 semiquincentennial 2026 Declaration of Independence quarters featuring a special 'July 4th' privy mark. Usa Today reported that the coins will bear no mint mark and will be placed randomly into circulation, mixed among other 2026 Declaration of Independence quarters.
The quarters will be made available to banks and financial institutions nationwide in time for the Fourth of July.
The Declaration of Independence Quarter is one of five new quarter-dollar designs for 2026. The other quarters in the series are the Mayflower Compact Quarter, which entered circulation in January and shows two Pilgrims under an 'E Pluribus Unum' banner; the Revolutionary War Quarter, released in March and featuring George Washington; the U.S. Constitution Quarter with a portrait of James Madison; and the Gettysburg Address Quarter showing Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and clasped hands on the reverse.
The last two designs have not yet entered circulation. Additional coins for the 250th anniversary include a Liberty dime, a Thomas Jefferson nickel inscribed '1776 ∽ 2026,' a Liberty half dollar, and a 1776 ∽ 2026 penny. The U.S.
