The National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Coin Act directs the U.S. Treasury to mint and issue commemorative coins honoring fallen firefighters and the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. The bill authorizes production of up to 50,000 gold $5 coins, 400,000 silver $1 coins, and 750,000 clad half-dollar coins, all to be issued during 2026. Each coin sale will include a surcharge—$35 per gold coin, $10 per silver coin, and $5 per half-dollar coin—with all surcharge revenue directed to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support its programs. The legislation ensures no net cost to the government by requiring that production expenses be covered before any surcharge funds are distributed, and coin designs will be selected by the Treasury in consultation with the Commission of Fine Arts and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
