Money from selling bronze duplicates goes back into the fund
The document says “shall”Who acts: Secretary of the TreasuryHow: statuteSec. 6 in the PDF
What the document says
“Amounts received from the sale of duplicate bronze medals authorized under section 4 shall be deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.”
Subsection (b) closes the loop subsection (a) opens. Money received from selling the bronze duplicates that section 4 permits is to be deposited into the same fund the cost was charged against. This is a direction rather than a permission, and it applies only to duplicates sold under section 4.
What the document actually says
“Amounts received from the sale of duplicate bronze medals authorized under section 4 shall be deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.”
That sentence, in plain words
Money from selling the bronze copies must go into the Mint fund.
What this is about
That is the same fund the medals were paid for from. So the money goes back where it came from. Section 4 is the part that allows the copies.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
