Thurgood Marshall Commemorative Coin Act

The Thurgood Marshall Commemorative Coin Act would authorize the U.S. Department of the Treasury to produce a limited-edition $1 silver coin honoring the legacy of the first African American Supreme Court Justice. These coins would be available for purchase by the public, with the final design selected in consultation with the Supreme Court Historical Society and Justice Marshall’s family.

For citizens who choose to buy the coin, the purchase price would include a $10 surcharge directed to the Supreme Court Historical Society. These funds would be used specifically to support the collection and preservation of artifacts and documents related to the history of the nation's highest court.
