WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThis bill matters to voters because it offers a way to commemorate a significant national tragedy and support a vital institution dedicated to preserving its memory. If this bill becomes law, it will create a tangible symbol for reflection on the 9/11 attacks and the lives lost, allowing people to own a piece of history while contributing to a meaningful cause.
Without this bill, the specific commemorative coins and the direct funding stream for the 9/11 Memorial and Museum from their sales would not exist. This bill helps ensure the ongoing financial stability of the museum, which is crucial for educating the public about the events of 9/11, remembering the victims, and honoring the resilience of the nation, especially as the 25th anniversary approaches.
KEY PROVISIONS
5AI-extractedPROVISION 01
Requires the Treasury Secretary to mint two types of commemorative coins ($5 gold and $1 silver) for the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
This establishes the core action of the bill, creating a new collectible item to mark a national milestone.
PROVISION 02
Mandates that specific surcharges ($35 for gold, $10 for silver) be added to the sale price of each coin.
These surcharges are the primary mechanism for generating dedicated revenue for the designated beneficiary.
PROVISION 03
Directs all collected surcharges to be paid to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center to support its operations and maintenance.
This provision provides a crucial funding source for a significant national memorial and educational institution.
PROVISION 04
Specifies that the coins can only be issued during a 1-year period beginning January 1, 2027.
This creates a limited sales window, making the coins more exclusive and potentially increasing their collectible value and the urgency for purchase.
PROVISION 05
Requires the coin designs to be emblematic of courage, sacrifice, bravery, endurance, resilience, and hope, with at least one coin bearing the inscription "Never Forget."
This ensures the coins visually convey the profound emotional and historical significance of the 9/11 anniversary.
