This bill authorizes the U.S. Treasury to mint commemorative coins honoring Selena Quintanilla, the legendary Tejano music artist who died in 1995 at age 23. The Treasury would produce up to 50,000 gold $5 coins, 400,000 silver $1 coins, and 750,000 half-dollar clad coins, all bearing Selena's image and dated 2029, which is when the coins will be available for sale. The bill includes surcharges of $35, $10, and $5 per coin respectively, with all surcharge revenue going to the Friends of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History to support museum operations and create a Selena exhibit. The Treasury will price the coins to cover all design and production costs at no expense to the federal government, and bulk and prepaid orders will be available at discounted rates.
