Sultana Steamboat Disaster Commemorative Coin Act of 2024

This bill authorizes the U.S. Treasury to mint and sell commemorative coins to honor the 1865 Sultana steamboat disaster, the worst maritime tragedy in U.S. history. It specifies three coin types ($5 gold, $1 silver, and half-dollar) with fixed minting limits, to be sold during 2027 at face value plus surcharges ($35, $10, and $5 per coin respectively). All surcharge revenue will be directed to the Sultana Historical Preservation Society to fund a museum and preservation efforts for the disaster's history. The coins are legal tender and designed with historical inscriptions, but the bill has no policy impact beyond commemoration.
