0:24Now PlayingThe U.S. Mint is releasing new coins into circulation today to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding.
The coins feature pilgrims and early presidents — George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
A committee had recommended five commemorative quarters to be rolled out this year. One would have featured Frederick Douglass, another would have highlighted the 19th Amendment, and a third would have celebrated school desegregation and the civil rights movement. But when the Trump administration unveiled the anniversary coins a few weeks ago, the committee's recommendations had been replaced by coins featuring pilgrims, the Revolutionary War and the Gettysburg Address. A spokeswoman for the Mint said the new designs were selected by the treasury secretary.
