Bill > S1289

This bill establishes a commemorative coin program to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, authorizing the U.S. Treasury to mint two types of collectible coins: a $5 gold coin (limited to 50,000 pieces) and a $1 silver coin (limited to 400,000 pieces). The coins will be designed to honor the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those affected by the 9/11 attacks, with at least one coin featuring the inscription "Never Forget" and required standard inscriptions like "Liberty" and "In God We Trust". The coin designs will be selected by the Treasury Secretary after consulting with the National September 11 Memorial and Museum and the Commission of Fine Arts, and will be issued only during 2027. Each coin will include a surcharge ($35 for gold, $10 for silver) that will be directly transferred to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum to support its operations and maintenance. The bill requires that the coin program result in no net cost to the federal government and ensures that all design and issuance expenses are recovered before any funds are disbursed to the memorial. The coins will be legal tender and available in both uncirculated and proof qualities, with a preference for being struck at the West Point Mint.
