U.S. Mint Issues $1 Coin Featuring President Trump for 250th Anniversary
The U.S. Mint has released a gold-colored $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump's portrait to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary in 2026. Despite federal laws generally barring living presidents on currency, the Treasury Secretary authorized this special issue under a 2020 law. The coin, made primarily of copper and other metals but no gold, bears inscriptions including "LIBERTY" and "1776-2026," with the Presidential Seal on the reverse. Available in rolls and bags for collectors, some coins carry a special "July 4th" mark.
