Trump Debuts on a U.S. $1 Coin as Mint Celebrates 250th Anniversary

Donald Trump’s portrait adorns a new commemorative $1 coin released by the U.S. Mint to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, making him the first living president depicted on U.S. currency in about a century. The coins cost $61 per roll of 25 or $154.50 for 100 and quickly went out of stock on the Mint’s site; they’re also sold via vending machines at the Mint store in Washington, D.C. The coins are copper-based (about 88.5% copper) with zinc, manganese and nickel and contain no gold, described by the Mint as a “once-in-a-generation” design for a milestone celebration.

Mint issues Trump portrait on $1 coin to mark U.S. 250th anniversary

The U.S. Mint will begin selling a $1 commemorative coin featuring President Donald Trump's image to celebrate 250 years of American heritage; the obverse shows Trump's likeness with LIBERTY and 1776–2026 while the reverse bears the Great Seal. The coins are legal tender and come in rolls and bags with prices of $61 for 25 coins or $154.50 for 100, with a household purchase limit that lifts later; some coins are stamped 'July 4th' and considered special issue. The release has drawn scrutiny because living presidents are typically not depicted on U.S. currency, though the Treasury Secretary may authorize such minting in certain cases.

New Trump-themed commem coin heads to minting for 250th anniversary

The U.S. Mint has begun producing a gold-finished commemorative $1 coin featuring Donald Trump for the nation’s 250th anniversary; the released version differs from the earlier approved design and is set for a fall release, drawing criticism because federal law bars living presidents from appearing on U.S. currency, even as Treasury officials say they can authorize minting. The obverse shows Trump and Liberty while the reverse features the Great Seal eagle.

Trump 24K Gold Coin Clears Mint Path for 250th Anniversary Tribute

A federal arts commission approved the final design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin bearing President Donald Trump's image to mark America's 250th birthday, paving the way for the U.S. Mint to begin production; the size and denomination are still undecided, and while federal law prohibits living presidents on currency, Treasury officials say the secretary’s authority allows minting of such a coin.

US panel approves Trump portrait on commemorative gold coin

The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts unanimously approved plans for a non-circulating commemorative gold coin featuring Donald Trump, a move that raises legal questions about depicting living presidents on currency. Supporters frame it as a milestone for the 250th anniversary year, with a large design (up to about 3 inches) drawn from a National Portrait Gallery image, while critics call it unlawful and inappropriate for a sitting president. The Trump administration is also pursuing related image-placement efforts (a $1 coin, institutional naming, and other projects) that are similarly contested in court.

Arts Panel Pushes for Record-Sized 24K Trump Coin

A seven-member Commission of Fine Arts voted to urge the Treasury to mint a 24-karat gold commemorative coin featuring Donald Trump and to make it as large as possible, potentially up to three inches in diameter, after Trump approved the design. The Treasury will make the final call on the coin's specs after consultations with the CFA and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, which has opposed placing a living president on coins; critics and some coin collectors also oppose the move.
