The new U.S. dime design has removed the olive branches from the eagle.

This change is part of the Semiquincentennial program celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States.

While traditional U.S. coinage often balances an olive branch (peace) and arrows (war/readiness), the 2026 dime specifically focuses on the Revolutionary War theme.

This redesign is temporary and authorized for one year only. According to the U.S. Mint, the dime will return to its standard Roosevelt design—which features the torch, oak branch, and olive branch—in 2027.
