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 create and sell special commemorative coins marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The coins would be designed to honor the memory of those who died in the attacks and those who responded. Typically, commemorative coins are sold at a premium price to collectors, with a portion of proceeds often going to designated charities or causes related to the coin's theme. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill primarily affects coin collectors and the general public who might purchase these coins as keepsakes or gifts.
Proceeds from the coin sales could potentially benefit 9/11-related organizations or memorials. The exact distribution of funds and specific coin designs would be determined in the legislation's details. **Current Status** As of now, the bill (S. 1289) remains in committee and has not yet been brought to a full Senate vote. This means it's still in the early stages of the legislative process and would need committee approval and broader congressional support before it could become law.
