Special Roberto Clemente coins for collectors in 2027 — sale fees would go to the Roberto Clemente Foundation.
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. Coin collectors could buy special coins honoring Roberto Clemente. He was a baseball star who died in 1972 while flying aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. The U.S. Mint would make up to 50,000 gold $5 coins, 400,000 silver $1 coins, and 750,000 half-dollar coins. They could be sold only during 2027. At least one design would show Clemente's face. The coins would count as legal money, though they are made for collectors. Each coin's price would include an extra fee. It is $35 on the gold coin, $10 on the silver coin, and $5 on the half dollar. That money would go to the Roberto Clemente Foundation for its work, such as education and youth sports. The foundation gets nothing until the Mint has covered all its costs, so the government would not lose money on the coins. No fee could be added in a year when it would push past the limit of two coin programs a year.
