$2.50 Coin for America's 250th Anniversary

$2.50 for America’s 250th Act This bill requires the minting of $2.50 coins to commemorate the 250th anniversary, or the semiquincentennial, of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Specifically, the Department of the Treasury must mint and issue a $2.50 circulating coin upon determining that such minting is technically feasible, economically feasible, and not cost prohibitive. The design of such a coin during the first five years of its issuance must be as described by the bill, however, subsequent designs may be selected by Treasury to celebrate the founding of the United States. Treasury may also mint and issue $2.50 numismatic coins (i. e., collectible coins) in silver, clad, and other alloys, including gold.
