Bill 118 hr 440, also known as the Cancel the Coin Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to halt the production and distribution of a specific commemorative coin that was previously authorized by Congress.
The Cancel the Coin Act argues that the commemorative coin in question is unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer money. The bill states that the production and distribution of this coin would cost the government millions of dollars, which could be better spent on more pressing issues.
Supporters of the Cancel the Coin Act believe that the commemorative coin does not serve a significant purpose and is simply a way for certain interest groups to profit off of collectors. They argue that the government should not be in the business of producing coins that have little to no practical value.
Opponents of the bill argue that the commemorative coin is a way to honor a specific event or individual and serves as a way to raise awareness and funds for important causes. They believe that canceling the production of the coin would be a disservice to those who were meant to be honored by it.
Overall, the Cancel the Coin Act is a controversial piece of legislation that raises questions about the government's role in producing commemorative coins and the allocation of taxpayer funds. It will be interesting to see how Congress ultimately decides on this issue.
