The bill directs the U.S. Treasury to mint and issue commemorative coins honoring fallen firefighters and the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. Three types of coins will be produced: up to 50,000 gold $5 coins, 400,000 silver $1 coins, and 750,000 half-dollar clad coins, all bearing designs selected in consultation with the Commission of Fine Arts and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The coins will be available for sale only during 2029 and will include surcharges of $35, $10, and $5 per coin respectively, with all surcharge revenue going to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support its programs. The bill ensures the minting produces no cost to the federal government, as the Treasury will recover all design and production expenses before any funds are distributed to the Foundation.
