Remember studying the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence? The US broke away from England in 1776 so 1976 was the bicentennial year.

Special designs of quarters, halves, and dollars were minted with the dual date as part of the celebrations. To meet the demand for these special coins, minting started in 1975 so there weren't any quarters, halves or dollars with that date. All carried 1776-1976 regardless of the year they were actually made.
