PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The 2026 FIFA World Cup is now being immortalized with its own set of commemorative coins.

Workers at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia are inspecting the coins before their official release.

Authorized by Congress, each coin is crafted to be rich in symbolic history and cultural significance, according to U.S. Mint.

Designs feature a soccer player making a kick, as well as the official World Cup emblem and trophy.

The Mint says the limited-edition half-dollar, silver dollar, and $5 gold coins will only be available this year.

Sales from the coins will go toward supporting youth soccer programs across the country.

You can preorder the limited-edition coins on the Mint website.
