HR 1993 United States House · 119th Congress

25th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act

This bill authorizes the U.S. Mint to produce commemorative $5 gold and $1 silver coins marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The coins must feature designs honoring victims and first responders (including the inscription "Never Forget") and will be sold only during 2027-2028. All surcharges ($35 per gold coin, $10 per silver coin) collected from sales will fund the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center, with no net cost to the federal government. The coins are legal tender but primarily intended for collectors, not circulation.

MINOR

The Engrossed version makes three substantive changes to the 9/11 commemorative coin bill: it shifts the issuance window from January 1, 2027 to January 1, 2028; broadens the design requirement for the anniversary reference from a mandatory inscription to any design element; and makes the uncirculated/proof quality requirement optional rather than mandatory. The remaining changes are formatting adjustments (added spacing before subsection numbers).

TIMELINE

The one-year window during which coins may be issued was moved from beginning January 1, 2027 to January 1, 2028, effectively delaying the program by a full year.

REQUIREMENT

The design requirement for each coin was broadened from requiring 'an inscription of the words 25th Anniversary' to allowing 'an inscription or other design element referencing the 25th Anniversary,' giving the Secretary more flexibility in how the anniversary is represented on the coin.

The quality requirement was changed from mandatory ('shall be issued in uncirculated and proof qualities') to permissive ('may be issued in uncirculated and proof qualities'), meaning the Mint is no longer required to produce both qualities.
