Bill > HR2257

This bill requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue commemorative coins honoring fallen firefighters in three denominations: a $5 gold coin (limited to 50,000), a $1 silver coin (limited to 400,000), and a half-dollar clad coin (limited to 750,000). The coins will be designed to be emblematic of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial, featuring standard inscriptions like "Liberty" and "In God We Trust," and the year 2026. The design will be selected by the Secretary after consulting with the Commission of Fine Arts and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, and reviewed by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. The coins will be sold at a price that covers their face value, production costs, and includes a surcharge ($35 for gold, $10 for silver, $5 for half-dollar) that will be donated to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support its mission and programs. The coins will be issued only during 2026, available in both uncirculated and proof qualities, and the Treasury will ensure that the coin program does not result in any net cost to the government. The bill aims to honor the service and sacrifice of firefighters throughout U.S. history while generating funds for firefighter support programs.
