Coin Metal Modification Authorization and Cost Savings Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • The bill lets the U.S. Mint change what metals are used in coins if it saves taxpayer money.
  • It affects the public and businesses that use coin-operated machines and accept coins.
  • The Mint must study the change first, tell Congress, and coins must work in existing machines.

  2. 02

    What evidence should the U.S. Mint provide in its required study to demonstrate that metal changes will actually save taxpayer money?

  3. 03

    If new coin metals work differently in existing machines, who bears the cost of updating or replacing coin-operated equipment nationwide?
