The treasury department announced Wednesday that the US Mint has started producing a new commemorative $1 coin featuring Donald Trump<\/a> as part of the nation\u2019s 250th anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n

The coin is scheduled for release this fall. Treasury officials said its final design was approved earlier this year by the US Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by Trump. However, the version revealed Wednesday is not identical to the previously approved design. Among the changes, the coin has a gold finish rather than being made of solid gold.<\/p>\n

Scott Bessent, the treasury secretary, said in an X post<\/a> the coin is intended \u201cto honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism\u201d, adding: \u201cFeaturing President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision has already sparked criticism because federal law bars living presidents from appearing on US currency. At the same time, the treasury secretary has authority in certain situations to authorize the minting and issuance of coins.<\/p>\n

The front of the new coin shows Trump wearing a suit and tie with a stern expression. The word \u201cLIBERTY\u201d appears across the top edge, while the dates 1776-2026 are displayed along the bottom. The phrase \u201cIN GOD WE TRUST\u201d is positioned in the center.<\/p>\n

On the reverse, the coin features the traditional bald eagle from the Great Seal of the United States. \u201cUNITED STATES OF AMERICA\u201d is inscribed around the top edge, and the shield on the eagle\u2019s chest bears the Latin phrase \u201cE PLURIBUS UNUM,\u201d meaning \u201cOut of many, one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has repeatedly sought to place his name and image<\/a> on prominent institutions and projects, including the renaming of the US Institute of Peace, the Kennedy Center performing arts venue and a new class of battleships, among other tributes.<\/p>\n

In March, it was announced<\/a> Trump\u2019s signature would soon appear on US paper currency. The move marked the first time a sitting US president will have their signature appear on legal tender. To accommodate this change, the treasurer\u2019s signature will be removed for the first time since 1861.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The treasury department announced Wednesday that the US Mint has started producing a new commemorative $1 coin featuring…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":764977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-764976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-news","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=764976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/764977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=764976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=764976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=764976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
