WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThis bill matters because it establishes a specific way for the nation to commemorate the upcoming 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, a pivotal moment in American history. It offers a tangible item for individuals to remember the event and support a related cause.
If this bill becomes law, it will provide a new, dedicated funding source for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, helping ensure the long-term financial stability of this important institution. This support can help the museum continue its vital work of remembrance, education, and providing services to those impacted by 9/11. If the bill doesn't pass, this particular commemorative coin series and its unique funding mechanism for the museum would not be created.
KEY PROVISIONS
5AI-extractedPROVISION 01
The U.S. Treasury is required to mint and issue commemorative $5 gold and $1 silver coins to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
This creates a physical way to remember a significant national tragedy and provides a collectible item for the public.
PROVISION 02
Surcharges of $35 for each gold coin and $10 for each silver coin will be added to the sale price.
These surcharges are the primary mechanism for generating financial support for the specified beneficiary.
PROVISION 03
All funds collected from these surcharges will be given to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center to support its operations and maintenance.
This ensures the funds raised directly benefit the memorial and museum, aiding its long-term sustainability.
PROVISION 04
The coins can only be sold for a one-year period, starting on January 1, 2027.
This limited sales window creates exclusivity for collectors and aligns the issuance with the anniversary timeframe.
PROVISION 05
The designs for the coins must be emblematic of the courage, sacrifice, and strength related to 9/11, and at least one coin must include the inscription 'Never Forget'.
This ensures the coins appropriately honor the event and the individuals affected, with input from the Memorial and Museum.
