Overview
- The U.S. Mint began selling the commemorative one-dollar coin featuring President Donald Trump on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026, offering 25-coin rolls for $61 and 100-coin bags for $154.
- The coin's obverse shows a portrait of President Donald Trump that resembles his official portrait and the reverse features an eagle as the national emblem.
- The design was approved in March by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts while the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee declined to place the Trump design on its agenda and a CCAC member argued democracies avoid images of sitting elected leaders on currency.
- The Treasury and U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach endorsed the release as part of the 250th-anniversary series and the Mint is marketing the pieces as collector items rather than for regular circulation.
- Collectors and reporters cited a Coin Bureau post saying 250,000 special coins were struck on July 4 but that claim has limited independent confirmation and the sale raises questions about precedent, institutional oversight, and potential political fallout to watch for in sales and public reaction.
