US Mint to produce $1 coins with Trump's image for 250th anniversary

US Mint will produce $1 coin with Trump’s image, Treasury Secretary saysTrump gets his own money as US mints $1 coins bearing president’s face

The US Mint will begin producing $1 coins featuring President Donald Trump's face on July 15 to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary, as announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Washington.

Paper currency cannot include images of living people under current policy, so circulating notes with Trump's image would require new legislation from Congress.

This commemorative coin marks a significant step in honoring the president during a major national milestone anniversary.

  • The tradition of excluding living people from US paper currency dates back to the 19th century to avoid political favoritism.
  • Commemorative coins often become collector items and can appreciate in value beyond their face value over time.
  • The 250th anniversary of the United States is being celebrated with various national events and historical reenactments across the country.
