The U.S. Mint has released 250,000 $1 coins featuring President Donald Trump to mark America’s 250th anniversary in 2026. The collectible coin has sparked legal questions because federal law restricts depictions of living people on commemorative currency. The Trump portrait appears alongside “Liberty” and “In God We Trust,” while the reverse features the Presidential Seal and “250”
The U.S. Mint has released a new $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump’s likeness to commemorate the United States’ 250th anniversary in 2026, with 250,000 coins produced for collectors. The Trump $1 coin has already sparked controversy over its design, as critics question whether featuring a living president complies with federal law governing commemorative U.S. coins.
A coin that has Sparked a Legal Debate
The coin’s release has attracted attention not only because of Trump’s portrait, but also because of questions surrounding whether the design complies with federal law.
Congress passed the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act in 2020, authorizing the Treasury secretary to create special $1 coins commemorating the United States’ semiquincentennial in 2026. However, the legislation included restrictions on depicting living individuals.
