25th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act

This bill tells the U.S. Treasury to mint special coins in 2027 to mark 25 years since the 9/11 attacks. The designs honor the victims, first responders, and survivors. At least one coin will say “Never Forget,” and each coin will include “25th Anniversary.” A small surcharge on each coin will help pay for the operations and maintenance of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center . Coins can be issued only during the one-year period starting January 1, 2027.

The Mint may produce up to 50,000 $5 gold coins and up to 400,000 $1 silver coins. These coins are legal tender, but they’re meant for collectors and will be offered in uncirculated and proof versions. The sale price includes the face value, the surcharge ($35 for each gold coin; $10 for each silver coin), and the costs to make and sell the coins. Bulk sales and prepaid orders can get reasonable discounts. The program must run at no net cost to the federal government, and the Museum only receives surcharge money after all minting costs are fully covered .
