The United States Mint launched the 1776–2026 U.S. Constitution Quarter as part of the nation’s Semiquincentennial program. The commemorative coin features James Madison on the obverse and Independence Hall on the reverse. To manage demand during the initial sale, the Mint implemented a limit of two units per household.

Following the release, collectors identified a specific detail on the reverse of the coin: the clock on Independence Hall is depicted showing the time as 2:50, which is interpreted as a reference to the upcoming 250th anniversary.
