Bill > HR5580

This bill requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint a commemorative silver coin honoring Charlie Kirk, a political activist and founder of Turning Point USA, who passed away in 2025. The bill specifies that up to 400,000 $1 silver coins will be produced in 2026, each weighing 26.73 grams, measuring 1.500 inches in diameter, and containing at least 90% silver. The coins will feature Charlie Kirk's image on the obverse side and the phrase "well done, good and faithful servant" on the reverse, along with standard inscriptions like "Liberty" and "In God We Trust". The coin's design will be selected by the Secretary of the Treasury after consulting with the President and reviewed by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. The coins will be issued in both uncirculated and proof qualities and sold at a price that covers the cost of design, production, and distribution. The bill emphasizes Kirk's role as a political activist who championed free speech, engaged young people in civic life, and promoted what the bill describes as core American values. The legislation ensures that the coin's production will not result in any net cost to the government, with the Secretary required to make bulk and prepaid sales available at reasonable discounts.
