5 quarters - There are 5 branches of the Military (well 6 now) for a 6 year period, they could do each branch on a quarter and rotate the branches and show an image of something they have in their control, such as:

Year 1:
Navy: A Carrier
Air Force: The SR-71
Army: A Tank
Marines: Elite Fighting Force
Coast Guard: A Cutter

Year 2:
Space Force: A Rocket
Navy: A Battle Ship
Air Force: The B-52 Bomber
Army: The Green Beret
Marines: Elite Fighting Force

Year 3:
Coast Guard: A Bigger Cutter
Space Force: A Rocket
Navy: Ballistic Missile Submarine
Air Force: The Thunderbirds
Army: A Bradley Fighting Machine

Year 4:
Marines: Elite Fighting Force
Coast Guard: A Boat
Space Force: A Rocket
Navy: The Blue Angles
Air Force: F-16 Squadron

Year 5:
Army: An Artillery Unit
Marines: Elite Fighting Force
Coast Guard: a Rescue in Progress
Space Force: A Rocket
Navy: F-14 Tomcat

Year 6:
Air Force: Another plan or Jet
Army: A Platoon of Elite Fighting Men/Women

Or, feature the most iconic roadside attraction in each of the 50 states--five states per year. Example: South Dakota -- The World's Only Corn Palace.

No disrespect to those serving. or those who have served, but I wouldn't support a six-year/30-coin quarter program with a military theme.

There have been quite a few military-themed coins in the modern US commemorative program that, no doubt, will be joined by more in the future. Though I wonder if there have been too many, I believe it to be a more appropriate forum vs.circulating quarters.

I have always supported the military and recognize the importance of maintaining strong US forces, but I don't think we need 30 circulating coins about it/them.

Just my opinion...

I like your idea more than more people on the quarter.

I would get a silver proof blackbird quarter!

And then it's time for a Back to Mount Vernon edition followed by a return to the eagle reverse.

It's time to pump some life into the Kennedy half, it's ripe for a 5 design multi-year series.

I'd like to see Medal of Honor recipients depicted on the coins obverse with the corresponding branch medal on the reverse.

I would not mind seeing that one as a series of one ounce silver medals.

We could submit it as an idea when the presidential medals have run their course.

It could end up being a really large set!

According to the Medal of Honor Historical Society of the United States, there have been 3,530 Medals of Honor awarded to 3,511 individuals since the decoration's creation...

" I'd like to see Medal of Honor recipients depicted on the coins obverse with the corresponding branch medal on the reverse. "

Great Idea.... Not many have A Medal of Honor, ....... Few people have received More than One.........

Clearly Another Winner.....

3,530 Medals
3,511 People Awarded Medals

19 Multiple Awards, Correct !! Thanks Jbuck...... KENNEDY 60Th Anniversary 5 Coin Multiple Mint Strikes, Proof, Enhanced Proof, Enhanced Reverse Proof, Uncirculated, and an Enhanced Uncirculated..... ( I mean the 50TH was Sweet, Why Not )......

Well, looking at the stats that jbuck put up, maybe they can do CMH commem for folks that have gotten more then one medal - that should bring down the count to a more manageable level

Semiquincentennial in 2026 as jbuck stated and a youth sports proram following that for 2027 - 2030

@nfine the Kennedy half is slated after the 2026 change to feature paralympic sports on the reverse for 2027 - 2030
