Charlie Kirk, the late conservative activist, is set to be honored on nearly half a million new U.S. silver dollar coins according to a recent legislative proposal by Republican House members. The bill aims to have the U.S. Treasury mint 400,000 silver dollar coins featuring Kirk's image and name, with the inscription "Well done, good and faithful servant" along with the year 2026, Kirk's full name, and the U.S. motto. This would make Kirk the youngest American ever featured on legal U.S. currency if the bill passes. The initiative is seen as a tribute to Kirk's impact and legacy following his tragic death during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in September 2025. This proposal would be a significant recognition since U.S. law traditionally prohibits living persons on currency, and Kirk would be honored posthumously. The final design approval rests with the Treasury Secretary in consultation with President Donald Trump.
There are also commemorative coins already available commercially, such as a colorized 1 troy ounce .999 pure silver Charlie Kirk memorial coin, which is separate from the official government-issued coins.
