The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will hold a two-day public meeting by videoconference on July 15 and 16 to review and discuss candidate designs for 2026-dated coins that will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding. These designs include semiquincentennial-themed half dollars, quarters, and a dime. CCAC members will also review proposed designs for the 2026 Semiquincentennial "Best of the Mint" Silver Medals, as well as the year’s proof American Platinum Eagle.
The CCAC is tasked with advising the Secretary of the Treasury on themes and designs pertaining to all United States coins and medals.
As part of the celebration of the semiquincentennial founding of America in 2026, the United States Mint will issue one-year-only redesigned circulating coins and offer "Best of the Mint" gold coins and silver medals. Semiquincentennial designs for the cent and nickel have already been recommended. The "Best of the Mint" 2026 Semiquincentennial Gold Coins have also been reviewed.
Specifically, agenda topics for the CCAC meetings each day include reviewing and discussing candidate designs for the following:
