          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coin Metal Modification Authorization and Cost Savings Act of 2025&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill authorizes the United States Mint to modify the metallic composition of circulating coins (including by prescribing reasonable manufacturing tolerances with respect to those coins) if a study and analysis conducted by the Mint indicates that the modification will&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;reduce costs incurred by the taxpayers;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;be seamless, which means that the coins must have the same weight and diameter as current coins and that the coins work interchangeably in most coin acceptors using electromagnetic signature technology; and&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;have as minimal an adverse impact as possible on the public and stakeholders.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Mint must notify Congress before making the modification and provide a justification for the modification. Congress may disapprove of any proposed modification through a joint resolution.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
