Paul Laurence Dunbar Commemorative Coin Act

This bill would require the U.S. Treasury to mint and sell coins honoring poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. It allows up to 50,000 $5 gold coins, 400,000 $1 silver coins, and 750,000 half-dollar clad coins, all dated 2028 and sold only during 2028. Each coin would be sold with a surcharge of $35, $10, or $5 depending on the coin. The surcharges would go to the Dunbar Alumni Federation, which supports students and graduates of Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C., after the government recovers its costs. The bill exempts this coin from the usual yearly limit on commemorative coin programs.
