U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney is proposing the creation of a commemorative coin that would help pay for a Coast Guard museum in New London, the Associated Press reports.
Under Courtney’s proposal, the U.S. Mint would create the coin in 2017, the AP said, and proceeds would go to the museum.
The AP said Courtney has claimed the support of both Democratic and Republican lawmakers, but he has twice postponed recent press conferences to announce the bill.
