Summary

What This Bill Does

This bill directs the U.S. Treasury to mint commemorative coins in 2027 honoring Roberto Clemente, the legendary Puerto Rican baseball player and humanitarian who died in 1972 while delivering earthquake relief supplies to Nicaragua. The coins will feature Clemente's image and recognize his human rights activism and baseball legacy.

Who Benefits and How

The Roberto Clemente Foundation will receive surcharges from coin sales ($35 per $5 gold coin, $10 per $1 silver coin, $5 per half-dollar) to fund educational programs, youth sports, and disaster relief efforts. Coin collectors gain access to limited-edition commemorative coins (up to 50,000 gold, 400,000 silver, 750,000 half-dollar). The Clemente family participates in design consultation.

Who Bears the Burden and How

Coin purchasers pay surcharges above face value to support the Foundation. The U.S. Treasury must ensure zero net cost to the government, meaning coin production costs must be fully recovered before any surcharges are distributed.

Key Provisions

  • Authorizes minting of $5 gold coins (90% gold), $1 silver coins (90% silver), and half-dollar clad coins
  • Limits issuance to calendar year 2027 only
  • Requires coin designs be developed in consultation with the Roberto Clemente Foundation and family
