The U.S. Mint presented 2,983 specially marked Enduring Liberty Half Dollar coins to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, honoring people killed in the 2001 and 1993 World Trade Center attacks. Made at the Mint’s West Point facility, the coins carry a 9/11 privy mark reading "9-11-01" and "ALWAYS REMEMBER." The presentation comes as the United States marks 25 years since the Sept. 11 attacks. The standard Enduring Liberty Half Dollar entered circulation at the beginning of 2026 without the privy mark and is being produced for one year at the Denver and Philadelphia facilities. The design was authorized under a 2020 law commemorating the nation’s 250th anniversary. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously said the broader commemorative effort honors victims, families and first responders. The Mint also launched 250,000 $1 Trump coins featuring President Donald Trump.
