TL;DR

The U.S. Mint will begin striking $1 coins featuring a portrait of Donald Trump to commemorate the nation’s semiquincentennial, a move that tests long-standing restrictions on living persons on U.S. currency. While the design places Trump on the obverse and a presidential seal on the reverse, legal debates persist about whether such living-person portraits violate federal law, with Mint officials saying the design complies. The coins will be made of non-precious metals with a gold-like finish and available in rolls and bags this fall.
