The Mint is soliciting new business for its "Circulating Bulk Purchase Program", per a 7/23/26 Press Release: https://www.usmint.gov/news/press-r...hase-programQuote:The Circulating Bulk Purchase Program offers eligible purchasers the opportunity to acquire certain circulating coins in bulk quantities, supporting broader distribution of United States coinage while providing a convenient purchasing channel for organizations seeking larger volumes of circulating coins. The program currently includes circulating dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar coin products. I think the Mint is talking out of both sides of it's mouth when it states, in the same press release: Quote:
The Circulating Bulk Purchase Program . . .supports the broader goal of ensuring coins reach businesses, collectors, institutions, and the public. That 'broader goal' doesn't align with the USM's recent behavior, e.g., minting to create expensive scarcities. The CBPP minimum order quantities ($50K plus for dimes, quarters, and halves; $140K for dollar coins) and processing fees would suggest only a well-capitalized company with a robust marketing and sales infrastructure would take the plunge on a pallet of coins. . .when advertisements for a certain dollar coin start hitting the back pages of AARP magazine, Sunday newspaper inserts, and the TV shopping channels, we'll know who took that plunge. . .

Just get rid of the dollar bill already and let those coins flow freely into the market.  |

Found a 2026 p and d mayflower quarter in my candy machine last week and found a 2026d dime a few weeks ago in my pocket. Seems to take a long time to circulate. My bank told me they don't control what is sent to them and had no 2026 anything available.

I have looked through over 10 full boxes of nickels in the past three months, and I have found ONE 2026 nickel. I guess its better than none  |

Received a 2026 D Mayflower quarter in change yesterday at a grocery store. . .first 2026 item I've seen in commerce:   " Even a clock that's stopped is right twice a day. "

We've reached the eighth month of the year here in western MA and I still have not found any 2026 coins in change. I pay in cash whenever possible, just so I can get change to search.
I asked at my bank, and they said that they've received similar questions from other coin collectors, but they're at the mercy of whatever it is they receive. They have not received any 2026 coinage.
Interestingly enough, lately I have received several bicentennial quarters in change. And the other day at my LCS, he gave me a bicentennial half in change. I think he was just trying to rub it in.

I talked to the manager at the local Prefered Credit Union Saturday and she said they would only get the new coins if they requested them. According to her, she said they normally just request the same lines/order number for their bi-weekly shipment. Said she never thought about it to request the new coins when ordering since they aren't in the collecting of coins and don't have many members asking. Not sure if that also applies to a standard bank? & |
