Trump Image on $1 Coin Tests Currency Rules and Tradition

The U.S. Mint released a $1 coin bearing Donald Trump's image to celebrate 250 years of American heritage, despite an 1866 rule banning living people on U.S. currency; supporters cite historical exceptions and the case remains legally unsettled as critics argue it's illegal, while a federal judge declined to block the coin and roughly 9 million coins are being minted and sold for about $61 per 25 coins.
