25th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act
Plain Language Summary
# 25th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would authorize the U.S. Mint to produce and sell special commemorative coins marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. These coins would be collector's items—not regular currency—designed to honor the victims, survivors, and first responders from 9/11. Commemorative coins are a common way the government honors significant historical events and figures. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions:** The bill primarily affects collectors and the general public interested in purchasing commemorative coins.
Typically, revenue from the sale of commemorative coins goes to designated funds—in this case, likely benefiting 9/11-related memorials or charitable organizations supporting survivors and victims' families, though the specific allocations aren't detailed in the bill summary provided. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Daniel Goldman, a Democrat from New York. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but hasn't yet advanced to a full House vote. This is an early stage in the legislative process, and the bill may be modified, delayed, or abandoned before moving forward.
