WASHINGTON − Two House Republicans are leading a bid to memorialize Charlie Kirk on U.S. coins following his assassination earlier this month.
Reps. Abe Hamadeh, R-Arizona, and August Pfluger, R-Texas, plan to introduce a bill, dubbed the Charlie Kirk Commemorative Coin Act, that would direct the Treasury Department to mint and issue 400,000 one-dollar silver coins bearing the image of Kirk on one side, according to a copy of the bill text obtained by USA TODAY. The coin would include the phrase "well done, good and faithful servant" on the other side.
All coins will be inscribed with Kirks full name, the year 2026 and the phrase In God We Trust, among other things, according to the bill.
Fox News first reported on the development. The lawmakers will introduce the bill this week, according to Republican Study Committee spokeswoman Calli Cooper.

These are the folks who had a problem with Harriet Tubman. Anyone still unsure they are racists?
