Was curious because I never saw anyone answer, or even ask, this question: Officially, as of now, what happens to the quarter in 2031? According to the most recently passed legislation, in 2031, after the youth sports program concludes, the quarter obverse reverts back to the "standard" design from 1932 and the reverse reverts to the "Crossing the Delaware" design from 2021. Unless of course legislation is passed before then that changes that. And it's a pretty safe bet it probably will. But nothing has been passed yet or as far as I know been proposed yet. Interesting thing about the half dollar I've not heard anyone mention or discuss: legislation says that in 2031 it will be retired as a circulating coin, but may still be minted for "numismatic and commemorative purposes." Nothing is said about the design but presumably any they still mint, other than for commemorative purposes, would revert to the standard obverse and reverse of the 1964 design. Everyone's talking about the penny's retirement but I've not heard anyone mention that the half dollar has an official retirement date too. But let's be honest, it has been effectively "retired on active duty" since 1964. Anyway I was curious about this and figure other people might be too.
