Edited to reflect further researchWhether the 2026
Native American dollar is a SemiQ release is up for debate, and depends on how you define "SemiQ release"
If you define it narrowly as only encompassing coins authorized for the semiquincentennial under the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, then only one dollar coin, the one depicting President Trump, qualifies as such a release. If, however, you mean coins regarded by the mint as part of the broader semiQ program in general, then yes, the
Native American dollar absolutely qualifies.
The choice of the Revolutionary War as a theme was likely in deference to the semiquincentennial, and although the coin legally remains separate from the CCCRA semiQ releases, the mint expressly lists it as a "collectible product" as part of its semiquincentennial program.

It is listed under the "circulating coins" section, and the mint explicitly says "dollar that will appear in your pocket change in 2026" in reference to the coin.
