House Republicans are planning to introduce legislation this week to place late conservative influencer Charlie Kirk on U.S. currency.
The legislation, which will be introduced by Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger, (TX) and Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-Ariz.), directs the U.S. Treasury to mint 400,000 silver dollar coins with Kirk’s likeness and the phrase “well done, good and faithful servant,” the lawmakers told Fox News Digital.
In a statement, Hamadeh called Kirk an “American treasure,” adding “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. His life must be commemorated, and this coin will allow us to pass a reminder of his remarkable life on to generations to come.”
Pfluger told Fox News Digital that the podcaster “was a conservative titan whose transformational impact on millions of Americans deserves permanent recognition alongside our nation’s greatest leaders and influential figures.”
He called the coin “a fitting honor that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and founding fathers who shaped our republic.”
Kirk was shot and killed during a question-and-answer session with students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah earlier this month.
Along with the coins, Republicans are also requesting that a statue of Kirk be erected at the US Capitol.
