U.S. Mint Releases $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. The coin, made primarily of copper and other metals but containing no gold, displays Trump's likeness on the obverse and the Presidential Seal with a "250" marking on the reverse. Despite federal laws generally barring living presidents on currency, exceptions allow this special issue. Coins are sold in rolls of 25 for $61 and bags of 100 for $154.50, with some bearing a special "July 4th" privy mark for collectors.
