bicentennial-coins-dollar-photo-by-mickey-glitter.jpg Bicentennial coins are popular with coin collectors — especially those who rely on pocket change to find their coin treasures.

The Bicentennial — the 200th birthday of the United States — was celebrated in 1976 with special commemorative designs on the quarter, half-dollar, and dollar coin.

While worn bicentennial coins are worth only face value, they can still be fun to find in circulation.

Here are some Bicentennial coin fun facts:

  • Bicentennial coins are dual-dated 1776-1976.
  • Bicentennial coins were made during 1975 and 1976.
  • There are no United States quarters, half-dollars, or dollar coins dated 1975.
  • Well over 2 billion Bicentennial coins were made for circulation, including all 1776-1976 dated quarters, half-dollars, and dollar coins.

My love for coins began when I was 11 years old. I primarily collect and study U.S. coins produced during the 20th century. I'm a member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG) and have won multiple awards from the NLG for my work as a coin journalist. I'm also the editor at CDN Publishing (a trusted source for the price of U.S. rare coins), editor at the Florida United Numismatists Club (FUN Topics magazine), and author of Images of America: The United States Mint in Philadelphia (a book that explores the colorful history of the Philadelphia Mint). I've contributed hundreds of articles for various coin publications including COINage, The Numismatist, Numismatic News, Coin Dealer Newsletter, Coin Values, and CoinWeek. I've also authored nearly 1,000 articles here at The Fun Times Guide to Coins — and I welcome your coin questions in the comments below!
