Coin collectors, currency dealers, and anyone trading or importing numismatic materials (coins, tokens, paper money, medals) into the United States would be directly affected. They would benefit from clearer rules on what documentation is needed to prove legal acquisition and import. Customs officers would also be affected, as their authority to request additional documentation for numismatic materials would be limited to cases where they have probable cause of fraud.

International sellers and cultural property advocates might also be indirectly affected. The bill aims to facilitate lawful trade, which could increase the flow of these materials, while still requiring proof against illicit origins, which could impact the market for potentially unverified items.
