What this bill would do
This bill requires the Secretary of the Treasury to create special commemorative coins for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles and the 2034 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City. It sets limits on how many coins of each type can be made, including gold, silver, and half-dollar coins. The bill also explains what designs must be on the coins and when they can be sold to the public. Additionally, it adds a surcharge to the sale of these coins to help fund the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games. Finally, the bill ensures that the minting and selling of these coins will not cost the federal government any money.

Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Support for Youth and Winter Sports: Under Section 4(e)(2) and Section 5(e)(2), surcharges collected from coin sales will be given to the organizing committees to help fund legacy programs, promote youth sports, and support winter sports programs for young and elite athletes.
-
No Cost to Taxpayers: Under Section 4(f)(1) and Section 5(f)(1), the Secretary of the Treasury must make sure that minting and issuing the coins results in no net cost to the Federal Government, protecting taxpayer money.
-
Recognizing People with Disabilities: Section 2(7) highlights that the coin program provides an opportunity to increase awareness and create more inclusivity for people with disabilities through a single, unifying coin for the 2028 and 2034 Games.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Additional Costs for Buyers: Under Section 4(d)(1) and Section 5(d)(1), buyers will have to pay extra money on top of the face value of the coins, because the purchase price includes added surcharges and the production costs of designing, making, and shipping the coins.
