GOP lawmakers seek to inscribe Charlie Kirk on legal currency in new bill

Republican lawmakers are seeking to memorialize Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk in a way that would put him in the ranks of America’s Founding Fathers.

Texas Rep. August Pfluger and Arizona Rep. Abe Hamadeh plan to introduce a bill that seeks to put Charlie Kirk’s image on legal currency.

The bill set to be introduced this week will direct the U.S. Treasury to mint 400,000 silver dollar coins with Kirk’s likeness, the lawmakers told Fox News Digital.

The coins would have Kirk’s full name, “Charlie James Kirk,” with the year 2026 on one side, while the other would have Kirk’s image with the words “well done, good and faithful servant,” Fox Digital reported.

Hamadeh said the move would not be out of the ordinary for an “American treasure,” like Kirk.

“Since 1892, Congress has authorized commemorative coins to celebrate and honor historic American patriots,” Hamadeh told Fox News Digital.

“He tirelessly sacrificed his time, energy, and money to save this nation for future generations. Ultimately, at the hands of a radical leftist, he sacrificed his life,” Hamadeh said. “His life must be commemorated, and this coin will allow us to pass a reminder of his remarkable life on to generations to come.”

Kirk would be the youngest American to be placed on U.S. currency, according to Pfluger, who called it a fitting honor that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and Founding Fathers who shaped our republic.”

“Charlie Kirk was a conservative titan whose transformational impact on millions of Americans deserves permanent recognition alongside our nation’s greatest leaders and influential figures,” Pfluger said.

The coins’ final design would need the approval of the Treasury Secretary and President Donald Trump.

Agreed.

Never forget, and as Charlie would say, “never surrender.”
