The FIFA World Cup 2026™ is currently underway in North America. As co-hosts of this year’s event, Mexico, the United States, and Canada have each released dynamic commemorative coins celebrating the world’s biggest football tournament.

The United States Mint has released six commemorative coins and a three-coin commemorative set to celebrate the World Cup. Authorised under the FIFA World Cup 2026 Commemorative Coin Act, the programme includes $5 gold coins, $1 silver, and clad half-dollars (50 cent coins), available in both proof and uncirculated finishes, alongside a limited-edition three-coin proof set.

The $5 gold coin features a globe depicted as a football centred on North America, while the silver dollar and half-dollar showcase dynamic football imagery.
