Trump on New Dollar Coin | Irvine News
Description
The U.S. Mint is releasing a gold-finished commemorative dollar coin featuring Donald Trump’s portrait this fall, timed for America’s 250th birthday in 2026. Though federal law generally bans living presidents on currency, Treasury Secretary has the authority to make exceptions for special issues like this one, which celebrates liberty and patriotism. The coin’s design—showing Trump solemnly facing forward, flanked by “LIBERTY” and the dates 1776–2026—differs from earlier concepts, notably omitting his leaning pose. The reverse features the classic bald eagle. Adding to the controversy, Trump’s signature will also appear on new paper currency, a spot traditionally reserved for Treasury officials—not presidents.
