Bill Summary
A BILL To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint a coin in recognition of the Foreign Service of the United States and its contribution to United States diplomacy.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint commemorative coins honoring the United States Foreign Service in 2029, marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. diplomacy. The commemorative coin series will include three denominations: a $5 gold coin (limited to 50,000 pieces), a $1 silver coin (limited to 400,000 pieces), and a half-dollar clad coin (limited to 750,000 pieces). Each coin will feature designs emblematic of U.S. diplomacy, selected in consultation 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". The coins will be sold at a price that covers their face value, production costs, and includes a surcharge: $35 for gold coins, $10 for silver coins, and $5 for half-dollar coins. These surcharges will be donated to the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training to support the collection and preservation of diplomatic history through oral histories, books, and other media. The bill ensures that the coin program will not result in a net cost to the government and adheres to the annual commemorative coin program limitation of two per year.
