National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Coin Act

Honors fallen firefighters with a set of 2029 commemorative U.S. coins celebrating the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial and firefighter service and sacrifice. The bill would require the Treasury to mint up to 50,000 $5 gold coins, 400,000 $1 silver coins, and 750,000 half-dollar clad coins, each dated 2029 and bearing standard inscriptions like Liberty and In God We Trust. Designs must be chosen after consultation with the Commission of Fine Arts and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and reviewed by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. Coins may be sold in proof and uncirculated qualities with prepaid and bulk discounts allowed. Sales include surcharges of $35 per $5 coin, $10 per $1 coin, and $5 per half-dollar that are paid to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and subject to federal audit rules. *The program would be structured so it does not cause a net cost to the U.S. government and no surcharges are disbursed until the Treasury recovers all design and issuance costs.*
