The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will hold a two-day public meeting on Oct. 15 and 16 to review and discuss candidate designs for several 2026-dated coins celebrating the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding. These designs include semiquincentennial-themed dimes, quarters, and half dollars. Additionally, candidate designs for the Proof American Platinum Eagles for 2026, 2027, and 2028 (Charters of Freedom series) will be considered.
