Washington, DC, Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 2027 will mark the beginning of a new four-year circulating collectible quarter program celebrating youth sports throughout the nation.
Public Law 116-330, the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act (CCCRA), authorizes the United States Mint (Mint) to issue these special circulating quarters through 2030, emblematic of sports played by American youth, featuring up to five different sports each year. Additionally, the Mint is authorized to mint and issue a redesigned half-dollar each year with designs emblematic of a single Paralympic sport.
In consultation with the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition and the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, the Mint developed the list of sports to be considered. We invite all Americans to review the list of possible sports that may be featured, and to take a brief survey to let us know their preferences.
Please visit https://usmint.gov/coins/coin-programs/youth-sports to take the survey, which will be live from January 22, 2025, through February 20, 2025.
