House

United States Marine Corps 250th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act

Sponsor: Rep. Trent Kelly (R-MS)

Stalled

No recorded action in more than nine months. Bills that see no further action expire at the end of the two-year Congress.

In brief

This legislation directs the Department of the Treasury to mint and issue five-dollar gold coins, one-dollar silver coins, and half-dollar clad coins in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps. It requires the design of the coins to be emblematic of the history and missions of the Marine Corps. The project would be funded through surcharges on coin sales, which would be paid to the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation to support the National Museum of the Marine Corps. The bill was introduced by a Republican representative from Mississippi and remains in the initial stages of the legislative process.
