Overview

• Treasury officials confirmed work on a 2026 commemorative dollar and acknowledged that images shared by U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach are preliminary and not final.
• Drafts show Trump’s profile on the heads side and a reverse depicting him with a raised fist before a U.S. flag with the words “fight fight fight.”
• Federal statutes and Mint design rules raise unresolved questions about depicting a living person and using a portrait on the reverse in this program.
• Congress authorized semiquincentennial $1 coins for 2026 under the 2020 redesign law, requiring designs that are emblematic of the 250th anniversary.
• Beach said further steps would follow after the government shutdown, and the White House press secretary said she was unsure if Trump had seen the draft but expected he would like it.
