HR 429 directs the U.S. Treasury to produce three commemorative coins in 2028 honoring American women who worked on the Home Front during World War II, often represented by the "Rosie the Riveter" image. The coins would be a gold $5 coin, a silver $1 coin, and a half-dollar coin, sold only during 2028 and intended for collectors rather than everyday use. The U.S. Mint would handle production, with designs chosen in consultation with the Rosie the Riveter Trust and arts advisory groups.
The bill primarily affects coin collectors and history enthusiasts who choose to purchase the coins, and the Rosie the Riveter Trust, a nonprofit that supports the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California. People who do not buy the coins are not affected.
Surcharges collected from coin sales would go directly to the Rosie the Riveter Trust, which supports both the national historical park and related educational programs. The program is structured so that buyers, not taxpayers, cover all costs including production and surcharges.
