agree with jim… the honor IS the medal and the attending presentation…. some families of recipients may want the coin, but what does it add to the honor…?
I guess it’s a big deal for a member or members of Congress to get a coin approved but, really, don’t they have more urgent business to attend to?

I think the honor is receiving the purple heart, not buying a commemorative coin that celebrates the medal.

I disagree. There is no time that the people of this country would not honor our military. The sacrifice our military men and women make is humbling. I for one cannot thank them enough. For the ones who have given the ultimate sacrifice, a mere coin or ribbon is nothing. Anytime is a good time to honor those who have given their all.

They should have done this during a big anniversary year like 200, 250, etc. To do it now would be a mistake as it would not draw as much attention.
