Commemorative Coins for Firefighters: Supporting Foundation and Honoring Heroes

This Act authorizes the Treasury to mint and issue special commemorative coins (gold, silver, and clad) in 2026, honoring the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. Citizens can purchase these coins as collectible items. A key consequence is that surcharges added to the sale price of the coins will be paid directly to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, supporting its mission and programs for firefighters' families.
Key points
Introduction of three types of collectible coins ($5 gold, $1 silver, $0.50 clad) in 2026, commemorating the service and sacrifice of firefighters.
A portion of the coin sale price (surcharges ranging from $5 to $35 per coin) will be distributed to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, providing direct financial support to the organization.
The coin program must be self-financing; the U.S. Government will incur no net cost, and funds for the Foundation will be disbursed only after all production costs are recovered by the Treasury.
