What this bill would do

This bill is known as the "$2.50 for America's 250th Act". It requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue specific quantities of $2.50 numismatic coins made of gold, silver, and other approved specifications to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The coins will feature specific historical designs from a 1926 coin and carry inscriptions related to the semiquincentennial. Additionally, the bill directs the Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of the United States Mint to conduct a comprehensive study and report on the feasibility of minting a $2.50 coin for wide circulation.
