What it does
The bill lets the U.S. Mint make special coins. The coins mark 25 years since the September 11 attacks. The Mint can make up to 50,000 gold coins and 400,000 silver coins. People who buy coins pay extra money. All extra money goes to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.
Who it affects
People who want to buy the special coins can do so. The National September 11 Memorial and Museum gets the extra money. Taxpayers do not pay because coin sales cover all costs.
One thing to notice
The coins can only be made during 2028. This limits how many exist and may make them more wanted.
