Rosie the Riveter Commemorative Coin Act

# Rosie the Riveter Commemorative Coin Act Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would authorize the U.S. Treasury Department to create and sell special commemorative coins honoring the women who worked on the American home front during World War II—often called "Rosie the Riveters." These were women who took factory and industrial jobs to support the war effort while men served in the military. **Key Details and Impact** Each coin sold would include a small surcharge (extra fee) that would go directly to the Rosie the Riveter Trust. This money would help the National Park Service maintain and repair the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park in California.

The bill is sponsored by Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) and would primarily affect coin collectors and history enthusiasts who choose to purchase these commemorative coins. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced in the House of Representatives but hasn't yet been voted on by the full chamber. It has not yet become law.
