Overview

• Reps. August Pfluger and Abe Hamadeh say they will introduce the Charlie Kirk Commemorative Coin Act directing the minting of 400,000 silver dollar coins.
• The coins would be legal tender dated 2026, with Kirk’s image on one side and the inscription “Well done, good and faithful servant” on the other.
• Draft language specifies inscriptions including his full name, “Charles James Kirk,” the United States’ name and motto, and standard legends such as “Liberty” and “In God We Trust.”
• The Treasury secretary would choose the final design in consultation with the president, and coverage notes the longstanding 1866 prohibition on depicting living people on U.S. currency.
• The proposal is part of broader GOP efforts to memorialize Kirk, following bipartisan resolutions denouncing his assassination and plans ranging from a national day of remembrance to requests for medals and a Capitol statue.
