YourVoice.Now Summary
Special 9/11 coins on sale in 2028 — an extra fee on each coin would help fund the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. The U.S. Mint would sell special coins marking 25 years since the September 11, 2001, attacks. The coins could be sold only during 2028. The Mint could make up to 50,000 $5 gold coins and up to 400,000 $1 silver coins. The words "Never Forget" would appear on at least one of the coins. Each coin's price would include an extra fee: $35 for gold and $10 for silver. That money would go to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center to help run it. The museum would get nothing until the Mint has covered all its costs, so the program could not cost taxpayers money. Under current law, the museum must also show it raised at least as much from private donors. Its use of the money is checked by an outside audit each year. The fee would be dropped if these coins would put the Mint over its limit of two special coin programs a year.
