First Rhode Island Regiment Congressional Gold Medal Act
Sponsored By: Senator Whitehouse, Sheldon [D-RI]
Introduced
Summary
A Congressional Gold Medal for the First Rhode Island Regiment would recognize the unit’s Revolutionary War service and its recruitment of enslaved and Indigenous men. The bill would direct the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike one gold medal to be given to the Rhode Island State Library for display and research. It would let the Secretary produce and sell bronze duplicates at prices that cover costs. The United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund would pay striking costs and receive proceeds from duplicate sales.

Mint may sell bronze medal copies
If enacted, the Treasury could have the Mint strike and sell bronze copies of the authorized gold medal. Sale prices would have to cover production costs like labor, materials, dies, machinery, and overhead. Money from those sales would go into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund. The Mint could also use amounts from that fund to pay the medal production costs, with no dollar limit set in the bill.
