Right now, the U.S. Mint makes commemorative coins for big national events, with surcharges going to designated nonprofits. This bill would order the Treasury to mint coins marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The mint could produce up to 50,000 $5 gold coins and 400,000 $1 silver coins during calendar year 2027, each carrying a surcharge ($35 for gold, $10 for silver) that goes directly to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center to support its operations. By law, the program must break even for the federal government before any surcharge money is paid out.
