- The US Mint says it's making a $1 coin with Trump's face on it
The US Treasury announced a $1 commemorative coin featuring a forward-facing portrait of Donald Trump alongside 'In God We Trust' and '1776-2026' to mark America's 250th anniversary. The coin's design, which will be minted in Philadelphia with a gold-like finish, faces legal scrutiny as federal law prohibits portraits of living individuals on US currency. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the coin as celebrating American values, while experts and a Treasury spokesperson cited conflicting legal interpretations.
