Washington National Opera Commemorative Coin Act of 2004

This bill would have authorized the U.S. Department of the Treasury to create and sell special commemorative coins to honor the Washington National Opera. The Treasury would have minted a limited number of gold and silver coins available for public purchase through December 31, 2010. While the bill did not become law, its practical impact would have allowed collectors and supporters to purchase these unique coins, with a portion of the sales price typically directed toward supporting the opera’s programs and operations.
