The United States Mint began accepting presale orders online June 4 for the Proof and Uncirculated 2026 commemorative gold $5 half eagle, silver dollar and copper-nickel clad half dollar marking the United States hosting, with Canada and Mexico, the 2026 FIFA World Cup Soccer competition.

The FIFA Cup coins comprise the only official congressionally authorized commemorative program approved for 2026, a year in which nearly everything being minted is somewhat commemorative by virtue of its Semiquincentennial date.

Authorized under provisions of Public Law 118-143 [https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7438/text] , the act calls for the production and release of up to 100,000 gold $5 coins, 500,000 silver dollars and 750,000 copper-nickel clad half dollars in Proof and Uncirculated versions combined.

The gold $5 coins are being struck at the West Point Mint with the production facility’s W Mint mark.

The Proof and Uncirculated silver dollars and clad half dollars are being produced at the Philadelphia Mint and will bear the facility’s P Mint mark.

Product pricing and surcharges are set by the Mint as follows:

  Net surcharges, after the U.S. Mint recoups all of its production and distribution costs, are to be paid to FWC2026 US, Inc., for the purpose of aiding or executing United States-based soccer programs and activities, including the promotion of FIFA’s legacy programs in the United States; and efforts to grow the sport of soccer throughout the United States, with a focus on youth, inner cities, and underserved communities.
