Bill > HR6555

This bill amends Title 31 of the United States Code to require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue certain circulating coins in recognition of the United States semiquincentennial (250th anniversary of the founding of the United States). The key provisions include: 1) Allowing the Secretary to change the design on any coins minted in 2026 to celebrate the semiquincentennial, including issuing quarter dollars with up to 5 different designs and minting $1 coins with semiquincentennial designs. 2) Requiring one of the quarter dollar designs to be emblematic of a woman's or women's contribution to the birth of the nation, the Declaration of Independence, or other significant moments in American history. 3) Specifying that the coin designs will revert to their previous designs starting in 2027, after the one-year semiquincentennial program ends. 4) Outlining the design selection process, which involves consultation with the Commission of Fine Arts, review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, and input from the public. Overall, the bill aims to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States through the issuance of specially designed circulating coins in 2026.
