Episode Details

The U.S. Mint is launching a new dollar coin featuring Donald Trump’s portrait, set for release on September 2nd — part of a 2026 series celebrating America’s 250th birthday. The coin honors “a piece of American history,” with “LIBERTY” and the founding-to-celebration years inscribed above his image, alongside “IN GOD WE TRUST.” The reverse showcases the presidential seal, a bald eagle clutching olive branch and arrows, 50 stars encircling the edge, and 13 near the eagle. A 24K gold version is also rumored, though pricing and dates are pending. Regular coins sell in rolls (25 for $61) or bags (100 for $154.50), made from copper alloy weighing 8.1 grams. The Mint positions it as a must-have collectible for this historic milestone — sparking debate over who gets to be on currency and why.
