Rosa Parks Commemorative Coin Act

This bill creates limited-edition coins to honor Rosa Parks. The U.S. Treasury would mint $5 gold, $1 silver, and half-dollar clad coins that feature her name and likeness. They would be sold only during 2029, in uncirculated and proof versions, and are legal tender. The goal is to celebrate her life and legacy and support education tied to her work .

Each coin sale includes a small added charge. That surcharge—$35 for the $5 gold coin, $10 for the $1 silver coin, and $5 for the half-dollar—would go to the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development to help youth programs and civil rights education. Coins are sold at prices that cover all costs, so there should be no net cost to taxpayers. Bulk and prepaid orders may get reasonable discounts .

• Who is affected: Coin collectors, gift buyers, and the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development.
• What changes: Up to 50,000 $5 gold coins, 400,000 $1 silver coins, and 750,000 half-dollar clad coins honoring Rosa Parks; at least one coin will show her name and likeness.
• When: Available only in the calendar year 2029.
• Cost and use of funds: Each sale includes a surcharge that funds the Institute; the program is designed so the government recovers its costs before any funds are paid out .
