New $2.50 Coins to Mark America's 250th Independence Anniversary.
This legislation mandates the minting and issuance of new $2.50 coins, both for general circulation and for collectors, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. The goal is to provide citizens with a tangible way to connect with the nation's founding principles. The circulating coins are intended to be issued by July 4, 2026, if technically and economically feasible.
