Support The Mark Twain
Commemorative Coin Act

The Mark Twain Commemorative Coin Act is legislation introduced by Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer [R-MO]  and Senator Richard Blumenthal [D-CT] and would mint a coin to honor Mark Twain’s contribution to American history and literature.  Proceeds from the sale of this coin would benefit four non-profits dedicated to Twain’s legacy: The Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum, Hannibal, Missouri; The Mark Twain House & Museum, Hartford, Connecticut; the Center for Mark Twain Studies at Elmira College, Elmira, New York; and, The Mark Twain Papers & Project at the Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
