The United States will soon be gearing up to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary. The event will be known as the semiquincentennial – quite a mouthful! 4 July 2026 will be one to remember as events are planned around the country to mark the occasion. America 250 is the national commission tasked with organising events to commemorate the 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence.
There is great anticipation in). Development of the programme involved public polling, input from the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC), advice from the Smithsonian and other research groups.
