This act authorizes the minting of special commemorative coins featuring Harriet Tubman to honor the 200th anniversary of her birth. The sale of these coins aims to raise funds to support organizations dedicated to Harriet Tubman's legacy and the history of the Underground Railroad, thereby educating citizens about a significant figure in U.S. history.
Key points
New coins: In 2024, $5 (gold), $1 (silver), and half-dollar (clad) coins featuring Harriet Tubman will be issued.

No cost to taxpayers: The act ensures that the coin program will not incur any net cost to the U.S. government, and funds for organizations will be disbursed only after all coin production costs are recovered.
