Congress Proposes New $2.50 Coin for U.S. 250th Anniversary

September 30, 2025 – February 10, 2026

The Bottom Line

Congress is moving to create a new $2.50 coin to celebrate the United States' 250th anniversary in 2026. These coins would include versions for everyday use and special ones for collectors. The House of Representatives has already passed the bill, and it now awaits further action in the Senate.

H.R. 5616 and S. 2952 are companion bills, which are identical versions of the same legislation introduced in both the House and the Senate. This allows both chambers of Congress to work on the proposal at the same time to help it become law faster.
