H.R. 3330 · 110th Congress
Coinage Materials Modernization Act of 2007
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 110th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
Coinage Materials Modernization Act of 2007 - Requires the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe the weight and composition of the U.S. dollar, half dollar, quarter dollar, dime, five-cent, and one-cent coins.
