Authorizes the issuance of coins under this Act only for a one-year period, beginning on January 1, 2016.
Requires the Secretary to make bulk sales of the coins issued under this Act at a reasonable discount.
Requires all sales of coins minted under this Act to include a surcharge of $35 per gold coin, $10 per silver coin, and $5 per half-dollar clad coin.
Requires all of the surcharges received from the sale of such coins to be paid to the National Park Foundation for projects and programs to help preserve and protect resources under the stewardship of the NPS and to promote public enjoyment and appreciation of those resources.
