This bill, titled the "United States Foreign Service Commemorative Coin Act," requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint commemorative coins in 2029. The purpose is to recognize the significant contributions of the United States Foreign Service to American diplomacy and its 100th anniversary, which occurred in 2024. The bill highlights the historical evolution of U.S. diplomacy, from the Second Continental Congress to the establishment of the Department of State and the unification of diplomatic and consular services into the modern Foreign Service. The legislation authorizes the minting of three types of coins: up to 50,000 $5 gold coins , 400,000 $1 silver coins , and 750,000 half-dollar clad coins . These coins will be legal tender and considered numismatic items, issued in uncirculated and proof qualities. Each coin will feature designs emblematic of diplomacy and the Foreign Service's role, including the year "2029" and standard inscriptions like "Liberty" and "United States of America." A surcharge will be added to the sale price of each coin: $35 for gold, $10 for silver, and $5 for half-dollar coins. These surcharges are designated to be paid to the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training to support its mission of collecting, curating, and sharing diplomatic history. The bill mandates that the coin program must operate at no net cost to the United States Government , ensuring that all design and issuance costs are recovered before surcharges are disbursed to the beneficiary organization.
