The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act -- passed by Congress in 2020 -- scheduled the Youth Sports Quarters Program for 2027-30.
That means the U.S. Mint "will issue up to five quarters annually with reverse designs featuring youth sports."
There will also be a new Paralympics-inspired half-dollar design released in each of those years.
Megan Sullivan, the U.S. Mint’s acting design chief, said the renderings “are currently in development and will be presented at a later meeting” during yesterday’s session of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.
Special coin designs are like interleague baseball.
I remember my grandmother buying us all 50 state quarters in the hard plastic casing.
The first Yankees-Mets two-stadium doubleheader was my moon landing.
But now? I could not tell you any other reverse designs on coins and I cannot believe we put up with the Marlins playing the Mariners on random Tuesdays in May.
That said: It is cool that youth sports will be honored with this program and it’s another sign of how significant the industry has become in culture and society.
