- Yesterday, the Treasury advanced a 24-karat gold commemorative coin featuring Donald Trump's portrait, reported March 20, 2026.

- Federal law generally prohibits putting a living person on U.S. currency, posing legal complications as the coin would join government-issued items bearing Trump's name or image.
