To amend the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act to make certain technical corrections to facilitate the lawful trade and collecting of numismatic materials.
HR 7865 amends the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act to clarify rules for importing coins and collectible money (numismatic materials). It adds a clear definition specifying that numismatic material includes coins, tokens, paper money, and medals. The bill requires importers to provide evidence that such items were lawfully acquired, are a known type documented in numismatic references, and aren't from illicit excavations. Customs officers cannot demand additional documentation beyond these requirements unless they have evidence of fraud. This directly affects collectors and importers of numismatic items by streamlining the import process for legally acquired pieces.
