## Summary

**Creates commemorative coins honoring the U.S. Foreign Service and its role in diplomacy.** The bill would direct the Treasury to mint specified coins and authorize a surcharge whose proceeds support the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training to preserve diplomatic history. - Collectors and the public: Would be able to buy the coins during a one-year issuance window beginning January 1, 2029, with pricing rules that include prepaid orders and bulk discounts. - Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training: Would receive authorized surcharges from coin sales to fund diplomatic history preservation and must audit surcharge revenues. - Federal finances and the U.S. Mint: Would require the Mint to recover all minting and issuance costs before any surcharges are disbursed, limit annual commemorative coin programs, and align financial safeguards with title 31 provisions. *Would be structured to avoid adding net costs to the federal government because the Mint must recover all costs before surcharge funds are paid.*
