25th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act

This bill mandates the minting of commemorative coins to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. It authorizes the production of up to 50,000 $5 gold coins and up to 400,000 $1 silver coins, which will be legal tender and classified as numismatic items. These coins are slated for issuance during a one-year period beginning on January 1, 2027, with a congressional preference for striking them at the United States Mint at West Point, New York. Coin designs must be emblematic of the courage, sacrifice, and strength of those impacted by the attacks, featuring inscriptions such as "Never Forget" and "25th Anniversary." The Secretary of the Treasury will select these designs in consultation with the National September 11 Memorial and Museum and the Commission of Fine Arts, subject to review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. A surcharge of $35 for each gold coin and $10 for each silver coin will be added to the sale price, with all collected surcharges designated for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center. These funds are intended to support the Museum's operations and maintenance, under the condition that the minting and issuance incur no net cost to the Federal Government and all production costs are recovered before disbursement.
