New York Democrats Are Working On A 9/11 Coin

Democrat Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer are introducing a commemorative coin, honoring the victims of, and the 25^th anniversary of, September 11, 2001.  The coins would be sold in 2027 at a price that would pay back the U.S. Mint for production, and surcharge proceeds would go to support the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and its mission to “never forget.”

“On the 25^th anniversary of one of the darkest days in our nation’s history, we must continue to honor our promise to never forget,” said Senator Gillibrand. “The 25^th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act would do just that while also generating funds to ensure that the 9/11 Memorial & Museum can sustain itself – two other ways we commit to never forget. Our city and nation owe our 9/11 heroes a tremendous debt, and it is time to get this done.”
