Greatest Generation Commemorative Coin Act
Sponsored By: Representative Kaptur
Became Law
Summary
Creates commemorative coins honoring the National World War II Memorial. The Treasury must mint three coins in 2024: up to 50,000 five-dollar gold coins, up to 400,000 one-dollar silver coins, and up to 750,000 half-dollar clad coins. Designs must be emblematic of the Memorial and World War II service and reviewed with the Commission of Fine Arts, the Friends of the National World War II Memorial, and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. Coins are legal tender and offered in uncirculated and proof qualities. Sales include surcharges of $35 for the $5 coin, $10 for the $1 coin, and $5 for the half-dollar. All surcharges are paid to the Friends to support Memorial maintenance and educational programs, and the Treasury must recover design and issuance costs before any surcharges are disbursed.

2024 World War II collector coins
During 2024, the Mint issues special coins honoring the National World War II Memorial. Up to 50,000 $5 gold (8.359 g, 0.850 in, ≥90% gold), 400,000 $1 silver (26.73 g, 1.500 in, ≥90% silver), and 750,000 half-dollars (11.34 g, 1.205 in) are available. Coins come only in uncirculated and proof. Each shows 2024 and the required inscriptions. Designs honor the memorial and are chosen after expert reviews. These coins are legal tender but sold as collectibles.
Coin prices include surcharges and costs
You pay the coin’s face value, a surcharge, and Mint costs. Surcharges are $35 for the $5 gold, $10 for the $1 silver, and $5 for the half-dollar. Prices also cover design, production, marketing, and shipping. The Mint accepts prepaid orders and may offer reasonable discounts for prepaid or bulk buys. If adding the surcharge would exceed the yearly two‑program limit, the surcharge is not added.
Surcharges aid World War II Memorial
Surcharge money from coin sales goes to the Friends of the National World War II Memorial. The funds help the National Park Service maintain and repair the memorial and support education. The Treasury first recovers all coin program costs, so payments wait until costs are covered. The law also requires no net cost to the U.S. government. The Friends group must follow federal audit rules.
