Selena Commemorative Coin Act

HR 2834, the Selena Commemorative Coin Act, authorizes the U.S. Mint to produce three commemorative coin types honoring Tejano music icon Selena Quintanilla: $5 gold coins (max 50,000), $1 silver coins (max 400,000), and half-dollar coins (max 750,000). The coins, to be issued in 2029, include surcharges of $35 per $5 coin, $10 per $1 coin, and $5 per half-dollar, with all surcharges directed to the Friends of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History for museum operations and a Selena exhibit. The bill specifies coin specifications (weight, diameter, metal content) and requires designs reflecting Selena's life and career, including her image on at least one coin. This is a ceremonial coin program with no direct policy impact beyond honoring Selena's cultural legacy.
