Rosie the Riveter Commemorative Coin Act

The Rosie the Riveter Commemorative Coin Act requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue commemorative coins in 2028 to recognize and celebrate the American women who contributed significantly to the Home Front during World War II. These women, often represented by the iconic image of "Rosie the Riveter," filled critical roles in factories, farms, and various support services, overcoming discrimination and hardship to bolster the war effort. The bill authorizes the minting of up to 50,000 $5 gold coins, 400,000 $1 silver coins, and 750,000 half-dollar clad coins, all of which will be legal tender. The designs for these coins will be emblematic of the diverse women workforce and will be selected in consultation with the Rosie the Riveter Trust and the Commission of Fine Arts. Coins will be sold at face value plus a surcharge and the cost of production, with specific surcharges of $35 for gold coins, $10 for silver coins, and $5 for half-dollar coins. All surcharges collected from the sale of these coins will be paid to the Rosie the Riveter Trust to support the National Park Service in maintaining and repairing the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park , as well as funding educational and commemorative programs. The Act explicitly stipulates that the coin program must not result in any net cost to the United States Government, and all production costs must be recovered before surcharges are disbursed.
