President Trump's Face to Appear on $1 Gold Coin, US Treasury Says
Treasury officials say the coin will honor the nation’s 250th anniversary, while critics cite federal limits on depicting living presidents.
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.
