What does this do?
This bill would create a $5 gold coin and a $1 silver coin to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Sales would be limited to 2028, with up to 50,000 gold coins and 400,000 silver coins made. At least one coin would carry the inscription "Never Forget."
Who does it affect?
Anyone who wants to buy one of these coins can do so. The National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York City would receive the surcharge funds to support its operations.
Why does it matter?
The coins would honor those who died, first responders who risked their lives, and survivors of the attacks. Surcharge money would go to the Memorial only after the Treasury fully recovers its production costs, meaning the program would not cost taxpayers anything.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- Buyers pay face value + production costs
- $35 gold / $10 silver surcharge
- Surcharge funds 9/11 Memorial & Museum
