Gold medal honoring Andrews and Campbell
If enacted, Congress would present one gold medal honoring James J. Andrews and William H. Campbell. The Treasury Secretary would design and strike that medal. After the award, the medal would be given to the Smithsonian for display and research. Congress would say the Smithsonian should show it at the Charles H. Coolidge National Medal of Honor Museum and may loan it to other museums. The Secretary could also strike and sell bronze duplicate medals. Those duplicates would have to be priced to cover production costs. Money from duplicate sales would go into the U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund. The Mint could use its Public Enterprise Fund to pay medal production costs. The bill would treat these medals as national and numismatic items under federal law.
