Bill > S2229

This bill requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint commemorative coins honoring the United States Foreign Service, including three different coin types: 50,000 gold $5 coins, 400,000 silver $1 coins, and 750,000 half-dollar clad coins. The coins will be issued in 2029 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Foreign Service's establishment, with designs that symbolize the importance of diplomacy and the Foreign Service's contributions. The coin designs will be selected by the Secretary after consulting with the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training and the Commission of Fine Arts, and will include standard inscriptions like "Liberty" and "In God We Trust". Each coin sale will include a surcharge ($35 for gold, $10 for silver, $5 for half-dollar) that will be paid to the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training to support the collection and sharing of diplomatic history. The bill ensures that the coin program will not result in any net cost to the government and adheres to existing commemorative coin program limitations. The legislation provides detailed specifications for each coin type, including weight, diameter, and metal composition, and allows for sales in both uncirculated and proof qualities.
