The US Mint is commemorating the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with a new half-dollar coin, The Post has learned.
The Semiquincentennial Enduring Liberty Half Dollar was announced Thursday, a day before the milestone anniversary.
“As we approach the 25th anniversary of September 11, we honor the memory of those we lost and the courage of those who risked their lives to save their fellow Americans,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.
“A quarter century later, our promise to the victims and their families remains the same: we will never forget.”
The coin features a powerful image of Lady Liberty, along with the date of the attack circled by the phrase that became a rallying cry for millions of Americans – “NEVER FORGET.”
The other side shows Liberty passing her blazing torch to a new generation, with the inscriptions, “E pluribus unum,” “Half Dollar” and “Knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty” in all-caps.
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the coins will be available to pre-order on the Mint’s website through Sept. 25, according to the Treasury Department. The currency was expected to begin shipping Dec. 3.
A 20-coin roll costs $40 and a 100-coin bag, $100, according to the website.
The new currency comes just days after the US Mint rolled out $1 coins featuring President Trump’s face to mark America’s 250th birthday.
One side features a portrait of the commander-in-chief alongside the inscriptions “liberty” and “in God we trust” in all caps, along with “1776 ~ 2026.” The other side features the presidential seal — with an eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows. Its shield bears the number “250” to commemorate the nation’s semiquincentennial.
