when are the 250th anniversary coins coming out

The 250th anniversary coins were scheduled to start circulating in January 2026 , with additional releases following later in the year. Coverage from late May and June 2026 also says some special quarter versions began entering circulation in June 2026 , and a limited July 4th privy-mark quarter was being randomly released in late June.

What that means

• General America 250 circulating coins: first available in January 2026.

• Quarter designs tied to the Declaration of Independence: began entering circulation in June 2026.

• Special July 4th limited quarters: released in a very small run in late June 2026 and placed randomly into circulation.

Collector versions

Some collector-focused versions, like special sets and proof coins, are being sold separately rather than just spent into circulation. One report says certain sets with the dual-date penny are slated for this fall , while a silver proof set started this month.

TL;DR: If you mean the regular 250th anniversary coins, they started coming out in January 2026 ; if you mean the special quarter releases, those are showing up through June and July 2026.
