Treasury Confirms Draft $1 Trump Coin Designs Under Review for 2026 Commemoration

Officials have not selected a design, citing legal constraints on portraying living people on U.S. coinage.

Overview

  • U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach said on X that preliminary images are authentic, and the Treasury confirmed the drafts’ legitimacy.
  • Early artwork shows Trump’s profile on one side and a raised‑fist image with the words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” on the other.
  • Treasury officials say any commemorative $1 coin would be legal tender but not intended for general circulation.
  • The 2020 Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act authorizes special $1 issues for the semiquincentennial beginning in 2026.
  • Further details are deferred until the federal shutdown ends, and unresolved questions over the living‑person prohibition could prompt legislative or judicial review.
