This legislation requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint commemorative coins in observance of the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It authorizes the production of up to 50,000 $5 gold coins and 400,000 $1 silver coins , to be issued in uncirculated and proof qualities. The designs for these coins must be emblematic of the courage, sacrifice, and strength of those affected, featuring inscriptions such as "Never Forget" and "25th Anniversary." The coins will be available for a one-year period starting January 1, 2027. The coins will be sold at a price that includes their face value, a surcharge, and the costs associated with their design and issuance. A surcharge of $35 per gold coin and $10 per silver coin will be collected from each sale. All surcharges are designated for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center to support its ongoing operations and maintenance. A critical provision ensures that the entire commemorative coin program will incur no net cost to the Federal Government, with surcharge funds disbursed only after all design and production expenses are fully recovered by the U.S. Treasury.
