My legislation will require the minting of three different coins. a $5 piece. $1 piece. and a halfdollar piece. The $5 coin will represent the Statue of Liberty. The $1 coin will be emblematic of Ellis Island. and the halfdollar will highlight the important contribution made by Americas immigrants. My legislation would require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint up to 500.000 commemorative Statue of Liberty coins in 1986 with a face value of $5 each. The bill would also require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint up to 10 million $1 pieces commemorating Ellis Island and 25 million halfdollar pieces celebrating the achievements of Americas immigrants. The coins may be minted as early as October 1. 1985. but not later than December 31. 1986. Mr.
