WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenMembers of the public who collect coins would be able to purchase new commemorative coins featuring designs honoring American service and sacrifice. Their purchase, including the surcharge, would also contribute to a specific charitable cause.
Gold Star families, the families of first responders killed in the line of duty, and veterans, particularly those supported by the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, could receive increased financial support, housing assistance, and educational opportunities from the proceeds generated by the coin sales. The bill aims to raise awareness and provide direct aid to these communities.
KEY PROVISIONS
4AI-extractedPROVISION 01
Requires the U.S. Treasury to mint three types of commemorative coins ($5 gold, $1 silver, half-dollar) in 2028.
This creates a physical memento to honor American service and sacrifice during the nation's 250th anniversary year.
PROVISION 02
Specifies that all surcharges collected from the sale of these coins will be given to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
This directs a significant amount of money to a specific charity supporting military and first responder families.
PROVISION 03
Sets the mintage period for the coins to be exclusively between January 1, 2028, and December 31, 2028.
This creates a limited window for production and sale, making the coins more collectible and aligning with the 250th anniversary.
PROVISION 04
Allows the Secretary of the Treasury to increase the number of coins minted beyond initial limits if public demand is high, based on market research.
This flexibility ensures that the program can meet public interest and potentially generate more funds for the beneficiary.
