President Trump's Face to Appear on $1 Gold Coin, US Treasury Says
The coin will feature Trump’s portrait, the national motto and a bald eagle reverse, while Treasury says it contains no actual gold.
- On Wednesday, the Treasury Department announced the U.S. Mint has begun producing a new $1 commemorative coin bearing President Donald Trump's likeness to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, scheduled for release this fall.
- The rollout follows Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's recent decision to halt the Obama-era plan to feature Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, effectively freezing a proposal that had been in development for nearly a decade.
- Federal law generally prohibits depicting living presidents on U.S. currency, though Treasury officials maintain authority to issue commemorative coins; the coin features Trump's portrait alongside "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "LIBERTY."
- President Trump told Fox Business Network on Wednesday he was honored by the "very unusual" tribute, while critics argued the administration prioritized the Trump coin over Harriet Tubman's long-promised currency placement.
- While the coin features a gold finish rather than solid gold, experts note such collectibles rarely circulate as legal tender; history suggests these coins become curiosities for collectors rather than standard currency.
