The U.S. May Mint a Coin with Trump's Face Despite a Law He Signed that Prohibits Collectibles with Similar Likenesses
The Treasury Department is reviewing designs showing Trump with patriotic imagery for a $1 coin marking the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026, amid ongoing legal and political questions.
- The Treasury Department has unveiled preliminary designs for a one-dollar coin that includes an image of Donald Trump, intended to honor the 250th year since the United States declared independence in 2026.
- This initiative follows bipartisan legislation passed in 2020 and signed by Trump that authorizes the Treasury Secretary to issue commemorative $1 coins in 2026.
- The front of the proposed coin shows Trump's profile with the word 'Liberty' and dates 1776-2026, while the reverse depicts him with a raised fist and the motto 'FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT'.
- A Treasury spokesperson said the final design has not been selected and no date is set for its decision amid debate on whether the coin complies with laws about living persons on currency.
- The coin's proposed design suggests the semiquincentennial celebration may feature a living president's image despite legal restrictions, which could affect future commemorative coin practices.
