Potential Positive Impacts for People

Support for Fallen Firefighters: Section 6(b) states that all surcharges collected from the sale of these coins will be paid to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support its mission and programs, which benefits the firefighting community.
-
Protection for Taxpayers: Section 7 requires the Secretary of the Treasury to ensure that minting and issuing the coins will not result in any net cost to the United States Government, and that all design and issuance costs are fully recovered by the Treasury.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
