The bill directs the Treasury to mint up to three commemorative coins—a $5 gold coin, $1 silver coin, and half-dollar coin—marking the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Foreign Service. The coins would be legal tender collectibles sold only during 2029, with designs honoring American diplomats' history and role.
The bill affects coin collectors, the U.S. Mint, and the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training, the nonprofit set to receive proceeds. It does not directly affect taxpayers or the general public.
Because the coins are optional collectibles rather than everyday currency, the program operates outside normal spending and does not alter taxes or circulating money.
