What does this do?
This bill directs the U.S. Treasury to mint three commemorative coins in 2027 honoring Roberto Clemente: a $5 gold coin, a $1 silver coin, and a half-dollar coin. Each coin would carry Clemente's image and the year 2027. Coins would be sold to the public, including through prepaid and bulk orders.
Who does it affect?
The U.S. Treasury would produce and sell the coins. The Roberto Clemente Foundation would receive the surcharge money and be subject to financial audits on those funds.
Why does it matter?
A surcharge added to each coin's sale price would flow to the Roberto Clemente Foundation after the government recoups its production costs. That money would support the Foundation's work in education, youth sports, disaster relief, and historic preservation.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- Surcharges: $35 gold, $10 silver, $5 half-dollar
- No cost to taxpayers
