The United States Mint has 4 products opening for sale in December 2026, across 2 programmes. Every one of them carries a stated product limit.
What is limited in December 2026
The Mint flags a product as limited when it has set a product limit, meaning a stated maximum it will make. A limit is not a mintage figure: the Mint often sells fewer than the limit allows, and the number that eventually sold is what the secondary market prices against. Treat a limit as a ceiling rather than a count.

Which mints are striking this month
A mint mark is the single letter on a coin saying which facility struck it: P for Philadelphia, D for Denver, S for San Francisco, W for West Point. Two coins with the same design and different marks are different collectables, and the Mint publishes the mark before a product goes on sale.
| Mint | Mark | Products |
|---|---|---|
| Philadelphia | P | 2 |
| West Point | W | 2 |
What they are made of
Gold leads the month, on 2 of the 4 products. Metal is most of the price on a Mint product, and it is the first thing to check before a release day.

Where this list comes from
Every date, mint mark, catalogue number and limit flag here is read from the Mint's own published product schedule, not from a dealer newsletter or a forum round-up. The Mint revises the schedule during the year, and a product can move or arrive without a date having been announced, so check the product page before planning a purchase around a date more than a month out.
