National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Coin Act

This bill tells the U.S. Treasury to mint and sell special coins that honor the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial and the brave service of firefighters. The coins would come in three types—$5 gold, $1 silver, and half‑dollar clad—and be made in limited numbers. They would be legal money, but sold mainly as collectibles with designs that reflect the memorial and standard U.S. coin inscriptions.

The coins would be offered for one year starting January 1, 2026, in collector-quality versions (proof and uncirculated). Only one Mint facility could make each quality. Prices would include the face value, a set surcharge, and the Mint’s production costs. Bulk and prepaid orders could get reasonable discounts. Surcharges from sales would go to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support its mission and programs, with audits and safeguards to ensure no net cost to the government and that costs are recovered before any funds are paid out. The program also must fit within the Mint’s yearly limits for commemorative coins.

• Who is affected: Coin collectors and anyone who wants to support fallen firefighters; the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation would receive the surcharges to support its work.
• What changes: Treasury would mint limited $5 gold (up to 50,000), $1 silver (up to 400,000), and half‑dollar clad coins (up to 750,000). Designs honor firefighters and the memorial; coins are legal tender but sold as collectibles.
• When: Available for one year beginning January 1, 2026.
