HR 2257

This bill, the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Coin Act, would authorize the U.S. Treasury to mint and issue commemorative coins – $5 gold, $1 silver, and half-dollar clad coins – to honor the service and sacrifice of firefighters throughout American history. The coins would be designed in consultation with relevant committees and would include specific inscriptions and design elements. Proceeds from the sale of these coins, after accounting for design and issuance costs, would be donated to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support their mission. The bill also establishes a timeframe for issuance and ensures the program aligns with existing commemorative coin program limitations.
