Theodore Roosevelt Commemorative Coin Act

The Theodore Roosevelt Commemorative Coin Act (S. 863) directs the Department of the Treasury to mint and issue a limited edition $1 silver coin to honor the life and legacy of the 26th President. The coins would feature designs depicting Roosevelt as a "Rough Rider" and on horseback, marking the 100th anniversary of his Nobel Peace Prize.

For citizens and collectors, this bill creates a new numismatic item available for purchase, with a $10 surcharge added to the price of each coin. These extra funds would be distributed to the Theodore Roosevelt Association and the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation to support educational programs and construction projects at national historic sites in New York and North Dakota. Additionally, the bill updates how proceeds are distributed from previous Lewis and Clark commemorative coins to ensure continued funding for the stewardship of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail.
