2024 Greatest Generation Commemorative Coins

The National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. was dedicated twenty years ago, on May 29, 2004, in a ceremony attended by 150,000 people. This event came nearly 59 years after World War II ended and was the result of an 11-year effort initiated when Congress authorized the memorial on May 25, 1993. The dedication celebration lasted four days. As a symbol of our freedoms, the Memorial honors the 16 million who served, the more than 400,000 who perished, and the millions who supported the war effort at home. For the past two decades, it has stood as a testament to the American spirit, inspiring current and future generations to cherish the sacrifices made for freedom and democracy. Like any public structure, the World War II Memorial has required ongoing maintenance and repairs over the years and continues to need additional work. To support this effort, Congress authorized the U.S. Treasury to mint commemorative coins. Proceeds from sales will fund maintenance, repairs, and educational initiatives.
