House Republicans are pushing to memorialize Charlie Kirk on U.S. currency with a new silver dollar coin following his assassination earlier this month. This proposal is being led by Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger of Texas and Rep. Abe Hamadeh of Arizona, who plan to introduce a bill later this week.
The coins would be limited edition, with 400,000 to be minted by the U.S. Treasury, and would feature a powerful message for generations to come. This new bill is just the latest in a series of proposals from Republican lawmakers to honor the conservative activist, who was shot and killed during a speaking event on a college campus in Utah.
