US Treasury Issues $1 Coin with Trump's Face on It
The legal-tender coin marks the nation’s 250th anniversary and has drawn scrutiny over whether federal law allows a living president on currency.
- On Wednesday, the United States Treasury issued $1 coins featuring President Donald Trump, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
- Federal law prohibits living presidents on currency, but the administration cited the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 as legal authority for the unprecedented move.
- Produced at the Philadelphia Mint from manganese brass, the coin displays Trump's portrait alongside inscriptions including "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST." A roll of 25 coins sells for $61, a 144 percent mark-up.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously announced plans for a $250 bill bearing Trump's face, while paper money will soon carry the president's signature—part of broader efforts to reshape national institutions.
- Trump is the first sitting United States president in a century to appear on a coin while in office, joining leaders like King Mohammed VI of Morocco whose portraits appear on national currency.
