GSMD’s request to have the US Mint issue a series of commemorative coins recognizing the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower voyage is now before Congress. If you would like to see this become a reality, contact your Representatives and Senators today! Keep reading for directions on how you can tell your Senators and Congressional Representatives that you support this project.
Here is the challenge to each of you – we need 287 US Congress members and 67 US Senators to sign on as co-sponsors. Only two coins are minted each year. There are already a handful of applications and there are sure to be more, so we need you to help rally the support needed to move this project forward. We can do this!
On July 8, 2015, bills were introduced in the House of Representatives and Senate in support of our 2020 Commemoration coin proposal. Both bills are titled “A bill to require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of arrival of the Pilgrims,” and we are requesting that members of Congress to become co-sponsors. This is a non-partisan effort, and we anticipate support from many members on both sides of the aisle.
