United States Foreign Service Commemorative Coin Act
HR 6126 authorizes the minting of commemorative coins to mark the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Foreign Service (established in 1924). It specifies three coin types: up to 50,000 $5 gold coins (90% gold), 400,000 $1 silver coins (90% silver), and 750,000 half-dollar coins, all to be sold during 2029. A surcharge of $35 per gold coin, $10 per silver coin, and $5 per half-dollar is added to the sale price, with all surcharge funds directed to the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training to support its diplomatic history preservation work. The coins must include standard inscriptions (e.g., "Liberty," "United States of America") and will be legal tender, but the bill does not create new policy or affect government operations.
