25th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act

Key Points

• Congress is proposing a bill to create special gold and silver coins to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The coins are meant to honor the victims, survivors, and the bravery of first responders.
• The Treasury Department would produce up to 50,000 gold coins and 400,000 silver coins. These coins will be available for the public to buy for one year starting in 2027.
• A portion of the money from every coin sold will be given to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center. This money will help the museum pay for its daily operations, maintenance, and educational programs.
• The program is designed so that it does not cost taxpayers any money. The price of the coins will be set high enough to cover all costs for design, materials, and shipping before any money is given to the museum.
• The designs on the coins will be chosen to represent courage and hope, and at least one version of the coin will include the words 'Never Forget' to ensure the history of the day is preserved for future generations.
