$2.50 for America’s 250th Act
This bill authorizes the U.S. Mint to produce two types of commemorative $2.50 coins for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. It creates a circulating coin for general public use (with specific design requirements for 5 years) and a collectible numismatic coin sold to the public (with similar designs for 2 years, updated every 2 years). Both coins would feature the 1926 Sesquicentennial design elements - allegorical liberty holding the Declaration of Independence on the obverse and Independence Hall on the reverse - along with the inscriptions "Semiquincentennial of the United States" and "1776-2026," with a target issuance date of July 4, 2026.
