The United States Mint announced on the day of the report that a $1 coin bearing President Donald Trump's face will go on sale on Wednesday, designed to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States. [^2]

The coin's design features Trump's visage as "heads" and the Great Seal of the United States as "tails". [^3]

The coins, which can be used as legal tender, stirred some criticism particularly because of federal law that bars the depiction of a living president on U.S. currency. [^4]

The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by President Trump, gave the coin's design the stamp of approval this year. [^5]

The coin has generated criticism because a federal law prohibits depicting a living president on US currency, although the Treasury Secretary has authority to authorize special coin issues under certain circumstances. [^6]

The United States Mint stated on its website that the coins were minted to 'honor 250 years of great American heritage,' with the inscription 'LIBERTY' above Trump's face and '1776 ~ 2026' below. [^7]
