Charlie Kirk, the late conservative activist, is set to be honored on U.S. currency through new legislation proposed by House Republicans. The bill calls for the U.S. Treasury to mint 400,000 silver dollar coins featuring Kirk's face. The coins would bear his full name, "Charles James Kirk," the year 2026, and the inscription "well done, good and faithful servant" on the reverse side. The final design would be approved by the Treasury Secretary in consultation with President Donald Trump. This would make Kirk the youngest American ever honored on U.S. currency at the time of minting. The effort follows Kirk's assassination in September 2025 and is described by supporters as commemorating his impact as a conservative figure.

There is also a cryptocurrency named Charlie Kirk (CHARLIEKIRK), but its price is extremely low and it is unrelated to the commemorative U.S. coins.

Would further details about the legislation or the coin design be helpful?
