Selena Commemorative Coin Act

HR 8019, the Selena Commemorative Coin Act, authorizes the U.S. Mint to produce three commemorative coins honoring singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez: $5 gold coins (50,000 maximum), $1 silver coins (400,000), and half-dollar coins (750,000). The coins must feature her image and be sold at face value plus surcharges ($35, $10, and $5 per coin respectively), with all surcharges directed to the Friends of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History for museum operations and a Selena exhibit. The coins will be minted in 2029 and are legal tender, but the bill does not create new government programs or affect public policy. This is a ceremonial coin authorization, not a substantive legislative change.
