1. Short title This Act may be cited as the United States Semiquincentennial Quarter Series Act . 2. Findings The Congress finds the following: (1) Circulating collectible coin programs are very popular and generate significant revenue for the United States Mint (referred to in this Act as the Mint ) to continue as a self-sustaining enterprise at no cost to the taxpayers. (2) During the 50 State Quarters Program (1999–2008), the Mint issued 34.2 billion quarter dollars into circulation, with an average of 3.4 billion quarter dollars annually, generating total circulating and numismatic program revenue of $9.1 billion. (3) The America the Beautiful Quarters Program (2010–2021) has generated total program revenue of $3.7 billion to date. (4) Because the America the Beautiful Quarters Program is scheduled to be discontinued in 2021, authorizing new circulating collectible coin programs will contribute to the longevity and long-term growth of the Mint, serve the public interest, and deliver substantial revenue to the Mint and the Department of the Treasury General Fund that otherwise may not be realized. (5) The United States Mint has completed extensive due diligence in evaluating previous circulating collectible coin programs and evaluating the likely success of future efforts. (6) July 4, 2026, will be the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, with the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The historic events preceding that anniversary— (A) are of major significance in the development of the national heritage of the United States and its principles of individual liberty, representative government, and the attainment of equal and inalienable rights
