25th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act
Starting in 2028, the U.S. Mint will produce limited-edition gold and silver commemorative coins honoring the victims, first responders, and survivors of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Buyers will pay a mandatory surcharge—$35 for gold coins and $10 for silver coins—which will be donated to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum to help fund its daily operations and maintenance. By law, the coin program must be entirely self-funded, ensuring that all production and distribution costs are recovered from sales rather than public tax dollars.
