This bill authorizes the U.S. Treasury to mint and issue special $1 coins honoring deceased U.S. Presidents who have not yet been featured on such coins, along with accompanying bullion coins and bronze medals honoring their spouses. The Treasury must issue the first coin for a deceased President within three years of that President's death. The legislation affects coin collectors and the general public who may use or collect these numismatic items, which will be legal tender. There is no specific federal funding amount mentioned in the bill, as coin production is typically self-sustaining through sales. The bill also includes a provision that if a President served without a spouse, no corresponding spouse bullion coin is required to be minted.
