Key Points
- This bill asks the Treasury Department to create special gold, silver, and half-dollar coins in 2027 to honor Roberto Clemente. Clemente was a famous Pittsburgh Pirates player and humanitarian who died in 1972 while delivering aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.
- The coins will show Clemente's face and include designs that celebrate his baseball career and his work as a civil rights activist. The Treasury will work with his family and his foundation to choose the final designs.
- When people buy these coins, part of the price will go to the Roberto Clemente Foundation. This money will be used to support youth sports, education, and disaster relief projects.
- This project will not cost taxpayers any money. The government will use the money from coin sales to pay for the metal, labor, and shipping before any extra funds are given to the foundation.
