United States Foreign Service Commemorative Coin Act
S 2229, the United States Foreign Service Commemorative Coin Act, authorizes the minting of three commemorative coins to honor the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Foreign Service (established by the 1924 Rogers Act). It specifies $5 gold coins (max 50,000), $1 silver coins (max 400,000), and half-dollar coins (max 750,000) to be issued in 2029, featuring designs symbolizing U.S. diplomacy. A surcharge from each coin sale ($35 for gold, $10 for silver, $5 for half-dollar) will fund the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training to preserve diplomatic history through oral histories and other programs. The coins are legal tender and will be sold at face value plus surcharge and production costs, with all funds going directly to support the Association's work.
