America’s Olympic and Paralympic Games Commemorative Coins Act
Sponsored By: Representative Sherman, Brad [D-CA-32]
Introduced
Summary
Creates commemorative Olympic coins for the 2028 Los Angeles Games and the 2034 Salt Lake City Winter Games and directs surcharges to support hosting and legacy programs. It sets denomination limits, design rules, pricing formulas, and audit requirements, and requires the Mint to recover its costs before paying surcharges.
Show full summary
- Collectors: Establishes coin programs for both Games with denomination-specific mintage caps. For example, each program may mint up to 100,000 $5 gold coins.
- Olympic organizers and athletes: Fixed per-coin surcharges (for example, $35 on each $5 gold coin) are paid to the Games’ organizing entities to fund hosting, legacy projects, and youth or elite sport programs, and those surcharges must be independently audited.
- Mint operations and buyers: Sale price equals face value plus the surcharge plus Mint costs. Coins may be sold only during a one-year window starting Jan 1 of each program year, and the Mint can offer bulk and prepaid discounts.
*Designed so the Mint recovers its costs and surcharges fund Games activities, the bill is structured to avoid a net cost to the federal government.*

2028 Los Angeles Olympic coins for collectors
If enacted, the U.S. Mint would sell legal‑tender commemorative coins for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games from Jan 1–Dec 31, 2028. Up to 100,000 $5 gold, 500,000 $1 silver, 300,000 half‑dollars, and 100,000 five‑ounce proof $1 silver coins could be minted. You would pay the face value, a surcharge, and minting costs. Surcharges would be $35 per $5 coin, $10 per $1 coin, $5 per half‑dollar, and $50 per proof $1 coin. The Mint could raise mintage if market research shows demand, and no surcharge could be added if that would exceed the annual two‑program limit for commemorative coins. Surcharges would go to the United States Olympic and Paralympic Properties for hosting and legacy programs, but only after all minting costs are recovered. Coins could be sold in uncirculated and proof finishes, and prepaid or bulk orders could get reasonable discounts.
2034 Salt Lake Winter Games coins
If enacted, the U.S. Mint would sell legal‑tender commemorative coins for the 2034 Salt Lake City Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games from Jan 1–Dec 31, 2034. Up to 100,000 $5 gold, 500,000 $1 silver, 300,000 half‑dollars, and 100,000 five‑ounce proof $1 silver coins could be minted. You would pay the face value, a surcharge, and minting costs. Surcharges would be $35 per $5 coin, $10 per $1 coin, $5 per half‑dollar, and $50 per proof $1 coin. The Mint could raise mintage if market research shows demand, and no surcharge could be added if that would exceed the annual two‑program limit for commemorative coins. Surcharges would go to the Organizing Committee for the 2034 Games for hosting and legacy work, including winter sports programs for young and elite athletes, but only after all minting costs are recovered. Coins could be sold in uncirculated and proof finishes, and prepaid or bulk orders could get reasonable discounts.
