United States Foreign Service Commemorative Coin Act

Key Points

• The bill asks the Treasury Department to create special gold, silver, and half-dollar coins in 2029. These coins will honor the U.S. Foreign Service and its long history of representing America around the world.
• The coins will have designs that show how important diplomacy is to the country. The government will work with a diplomatic history group and an arts commission to decide what the coins will look like.
• When people buy these coins, part of the price will include a donation to a nonprofit group. This group collects stories and records from American diplomats to help people understand how foreign policy works.
• This program is designed to have no cost to the government. All the money spent to design and make the coins must be earned back through sales before any donations are handed out.
