United States119th CongressS-4051Senate
Updated: Mar 11, 2026

Summary

This bill, known as the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Coin Act, requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue commemorative coins emblematic of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial and the service of firefighters. The legislation authorizes the production 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 and considered numismatic items. These coins are to be issued only during a one-year period beginning on January 1, 2029. The designs for the coins will be selected after consultation with relevant bodies and must include specific inscriptions, such as the year "2029." Coins will be sold at face value plus a surcharge and the cost of production, with provisions for bulk and prepaid order discounts. Surcharges, ranging from $5 to $35 per coin, will be paid to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support its mission and programs. A key provision ensures that the minting and issuance of these coins will not result in any net cost to the United States Government, with all costs recovered before funds are disbursed to the Foundation.
