Republicans want to issue a coin in memory of Charlie Kirk.

House members Abe Hamadeh and August Pfluger plan to introduce legislation that would require the Treasury Department to mint and issue one-dollar coins featuring the slain conservative activist, according to USA Today.

Hamadeh (R-Ariz.) and Pflueger (R-Texas) intend to introduce the "Charlie Kirk Commemorative Coin Act," which would require the Treasury Department to mint and issue 400,000 $1 silver coins featuring Kirk on one side. The reverse side of the coin would bear the phrase "well done, good and faithful servant."

All coins, according to the bill, would feature Kirk's full name, the year "2026," and the phrase "In God We Trust."

According to Fox News, citing Republican Study Committee spokesperson Kelly Cooper, the bill will be introduced in the coming days.

"Charlie Kirk was a conservative titan whose transformative impact on millions of Americans deserves to be recognized alongside our nation's greatest leaders and influencers," said Pflueger. "This commemorative coin will make Charlie the youngest American ever immortalized on U.S. legal tender, a fitting honor that cements his remarkable legacy alongside the presidents and Founding Fathers who shaped our nation."

Hamadeh stressed that the coin would help preserve the memory of his life "for future generations."

To take effect, the bill must pass the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and secure Democratic support in the Republican-led Senate before being signed by President Donald Trump.

Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on September 10 while giving a speech at Utah Valley University. Utah prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.

On September 19, House Republicans passed a resolution honoring Kirk, condemning his assassination and calling on Americans to "reject political violence." Democrats were divided on the issue: 95 voted yes to 58.

On September 18, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution declaring October 14, 2025, National Charlie Kirk Memorial Day. Sixteen House Republicans sent a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson requesting a monument to this prominent figure in the MAGA movement be erected in the Capitol building. President Donald Trump announced that he would posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

On September 21, Kirk's memorial service in Arizona, attended and spoken at by Trump, drew so many people that the hall couldn't accommodate everyone. Tens of thousands of mourners, including religious leaders and Kirk's colleagues, attended the ceremony.

Additionally, Congressman Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) introduced a resolution on September 11 to award Kirk the Congressional Gold Medal.
