President Trump's Face to Appear on $1 Gold Coin, US Treasury Says

The 47-coin limited run carries about 19.7 ounces of gold each and faces legal questions over a ban on living presidents on U.S. currency.

  • The U.S. Mint is producing a new $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump's face, set for release this fall.
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the coin honors the nation's legacy of liberty and symbolizes patriotism.
  • The coin shows Trump wearing a suit with a stern expression and is made of a non-precious metal with a gold-like finish.
  • There has been criticism because federal law typically prohibits living presidents on U.S. currency, but the Treasury Secretary has authority to authorize such coins.
