Commemorative Coins for Working Dogs: Supporting Veterans and Disabled Individuals.

This Act mandates the Treasury to mint commemorative coins in 2025, honoring the invaluable service of working dogs (military, assistance, therapy). Citizens purchasing these coins will contribute directly to America’s VetDogs, an organization that provides service dogs to veterans and first responders with disabilities. The program is designed to be cost-neutral for the government, with surcharges dedicated entirely to the charitable mission.
Key points
Authorization for minting three types of commemorative coins ($5 gold, $1 silver, half-dollar clad) to be issued during 2025.
A surcharge on each coin sold (ranging from $5 to $35) will be paid to America’s VetDogs to fund their mission of providing service dogs to veterans and disabled individuals.
The program must not result in any net cost to the U.S. Government; all production and issuance costs must be recovered from sales before surcharges are distributed.
