This bill authorizes the U.S. Mint to produce special commemorative coins for two upcoming Olympic Games: the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics and Paralympics and the 2034 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and Paralympics. For each games, the Treasury will mint coins in four denominations (gold $5 coins, silver $1 coins, half-dollar clad coins, and proof silver coins) in specified quantities, with designs celebrating U.S. Olympic athletes selected in consultation with the relevant organizing committees. Sales will include surcharges—ranging from $5 to $50 per coin depending on denomination—that will be directed to the respective games' organizing committees to support hosting costs and youth sports programs. The program is designed to cost the federal government nothing, with the Treasury responsible for cost recovery, and coin sales are limited to the year each games occurs, though the Mint may increase production if market demand warrants.
