The U.S. Mint announces a new commemorative half-dollar ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The coin, publicized Thursday, is released one day before the milestone anniversary, according to reporting on the announcement.
Both outlets describe the coin’s design as incorporating “9-11-01,” encircled by the words “NEVER FORGET.” The coin is intended to honor the victims of the attacks. One outlet frames the release as part of the Semiquincentennial Enduring Liberty Half Dollar line, while another emphasizes the commemorative elements visible on the face of the coin.
The coverage aligns on the basic facts: the U.S. Mint is issuing a special half-dollar, it is tied to the 9/11 25th anniversary, and it prominently features the “NEVER FORGET” message alongside “9-11-01.”
