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.
