National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Coin Act

HR 2257 authorizes the U.S. Mint to produce three commemorative coins (a $5 gold coin, a $1 silver coin, and a half-dollar) to honor fallen firefighters, with specific quantity limits and specifications. The bill requires a surcharge ($35 for gold, $10 for silver, $5 for half-dollar) on each coin sold, which is directed entirely to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support its programs. The coins must be issued in 2026, will be legal tender, and the government must recover all costs through sales before distributing funds to the Foundation. This is a commemorative coin program, not a direct legislative policy change affecting broader public programs.
