The bill would require the Treasury Secretary to issue commemorative coins honoring Selena Quintanilla in 2029. It authorizes up to 50,000 gold $5 coins, 400,000 silver $1 coins, and 750,000 half-dollar coins. At least one coin design must show Selena, and all designs must reflect her life and accomplishments. The coins would be legal tender. Surcharges from coin sales would go to the Friends of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History for general expenses, including museum operations and a Selena exhibit, after the Treasury recovers the costs of designing and issuing the coins.
The coins would be available for purchase during 2029, in proof and uncirculated qualities. The bill allows prepaid orders and bulk sales at reasonable discounts. It does not say how or where the coins may be purchased.
Buyers would pay the coin’s face value, a surcharge, and the costs of designing and issuing it. The surcharges would be $35 for each gold coin, $10 for each silver coin, and $5 for each half-dollar coin. The bill requires measures to ensure the program has no net cost to the federal government. No total sale prices are specified.
The bill’s findings describe Selena’s contributions to Tejano music and culture, her awards and musical achievements, and her public service. The bill would honor her with commemorative coins. No publicly available information.
