Rosie the Riveter Commemorative Coin Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Rosie the Riveter Commemorative Coin Act honors women who supported the World War II Home Front in factories, farms, shipyards, banks, hospitals, offices, volunteer services, rationing boards, and the defense industrial base. Treasury must mint and issue up to 50,000 five-dollar gold coins, 400,000 one-dollar silver coins, and 750,000 half-dollar coins in 2028, in proof and uncirculated qualities, with designs emblematic of the diverse women workforce and selected after consultation with the Rosie the Riveter Trust and Commission of Fine Arts and review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. Sale prices must cover face value, surcharges, and Treasury costs. Surcharges are $35 for each $5 coin, $10 for each $1 coin, and $5 for each half-dollar, and go to the Rosie the Riveter Trust to support the National Park Service in maintaining and repairing Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park and educational and commemorative programs. Treasury may not disburse surcharges until all minting and issuance costs are recovered, and the program must have no net cost to the United States.
Who Benefits and How
Rosie the Riveter Trust benefits because coin surcharges fund park maintenance, repairs, education, and commemorative programs. Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park benefits from surcharge-supported National Park Service maintenance and repair work. Coin collectors benefit from a 2028 commemorative coin program with gold, silver, and half-dollar options. Women's history educators benefit from a federally recognized program honoring World War II Home Front women workers.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Secretary of the Treasury must design, mint, market, sell, and account for the commemorative coins. The United States Mint must recover all design and issuance costs before surcharge disbursement. Rosie the Riveter Trust must comply with audit requirements for surcharge proceeds. Purchasers pay surcharges and production costs above face value when buying the coins.
