25th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act is a Senate bill awaiting final action. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate.

Latest action on H.R. 1993: Received in the Senate.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, coin buyers and collectors, and the U.S. Mint. The museum could receive new money for operations and maintenance if the coins sell well. Buyers could purchase official 9/11 anniversary collector coins. The Mint would have to design, make, sell, and account for the program under federal cost rules.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it would turn a national anniversary into a way to support the main 9/11 memorial museum. People who choose to buy the coins could help fund the museum without using general tax money. The bill also puts limits around the program, so the Mint must recover its costs first. The final benefit to the museum would depend on how many coins people buy.
