RSC Members Honor Charlie Kirk's Legacy with Commemorative U.S. Currency

September 25, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In Case You Missed It: Rep. Abe Hamadeh (AZ-8) and Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11) are introducing legislation on Friday, September 26th, to honor Charlie Kirk’s legacy by placing him on 400,000 silver dollar coins in 2026 featuring an engraving of the phrase: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

The legislation comes in response to the nationwide mourning of his life and legacy following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The bill underscores his influence on American politics and in the faith community, prompting calls for lasting recognition of his impact. Much more needs to be done to ensure Kirk’s legacy is never forgotten, but placing Kirk’s likeness on U.S. currency is a strong and meaningful start.

If passed and enacted into law, Charlie Kirk will be the youngest individual to ever be immortalized on legal U.S. currency, joining historical figures including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Susan B. Anthony, and Jackie Robinson. The coins will be minted at no cost to the taxpayer, and the final design will be approved by President Trump himself.
