The Liberty Bell ringing. While it is unclear whether it rang out in July 1776, the Liberty Bell often rang to draw people near and share an announcement or a declaration. The Bell’s crack is visible; the fragility of the Bell echoing the fragility of a young nation at its founding.

Comments
The United States Mint (Mint) unveiled the designs for the Semiquincentennial Circulating Coin Program at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on Wednesday evening. For one year only, the new designs—emblematic of the United States Semiquincentennial—will be depicted on the obverse and reverse of the 2026 dime, quarter-dollar coin (featuring five different designs), and half-dollar coin. Additionally, each circulating coin will bear a dual date: 1776 ~ 2026. Authorized by the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 (Public Law 116-330) and signed into law on January 13, 2021, by President Donald J. Trump, these coins commemorate 250 years of American Liberty by reflecting our country’s founding principles and honoring our Nation’s history.
