The Semiquincentennial Commemorative Coin Act authorizes the U.S. Treasury to mint and sell special coins commemorating America's 250th anniversary of independence in 2026. The coins will come in four types: gold $25 coins (limited to 100,000), silver $2.50 coins (up to 500,000), quarter dollar clad coins (up to 750,000), and proof silver $2.50 coins weighing 5 ounces (up to 100,000). The coins will be sold during 2026 at prices that include their face value plus surcharges ranging from $5 to $50 per coin, with surcharge revenues going to the America 250 Foundation to fund restoration and rehabilitation of national parks. The Treasury will recover all costs of designing and issuing the coins before any surcharge money is distributed, and the bill includes no federal funding, making it cost-neutral to the government.
