🔍 What’s going on

1. Proposed U.S. commemorative coin

   • Two U.S. Representatives (Abe Hamadeh and August Pfluger) have introduced legislation to mint 400,000 silver dollar coins in 2026 portraying Charlie Kirk. The coins would include his full name, the year 2026, and the phrase “well done, good and faithful servant.”

   • This is a legislative proposal — not something that’s already law or approved by the U.S. Mint.

   • Under U.S. law, there is a restriction: the image of a living person cannot be used on U.S. currency. Because Kirk passed away in 2025, supporters point this proposal would comply (though legal scrutiny is likely).

   • The final coin design (if approved) would be decided by the U.S. Treasury Secretary in consultation with the President.

2. Commercial / commemorative (“private mint”) coins exist

   • Regardless of government approval, several privately minted memorial / tribute coins or “rounds” are already being marketed. For example:

   • A 1 oz .999 fine silver “Charlie Kirk Memorial Round” with colorized portrait & inscriptions, sold via Money Metals.

   • Other providers advertise “Charlie Kirk Memorial Coin” or “A True Patriot Memorial Coin — Charlie Kirk” as collectibles.

   • One such listing describes one side with his likeness, the other with Turning Point USA symbols and quotes.

✅ What it doesn’t (yet) mean

• It is not yet an official U.S. coin in circulation — only a proposed legislative idea.

• Private memorial coins do not have legal tender status — they are collectibles.

• It’s uncertain whether the legislative proposal will pass or whether designs will be approved.

The final design of the coin would be selected by the Treasury Secretary in consultation with President Donald Trump. This initiative comes amid other legislative efforts to commemorate Kirk, including proposals for statues and a national day of remembrance.
