Trump $1 Coin? Treasury Considers Design for America’s 250th Anniversary

Breaking: Treasury may issue a $1 coin featuring Donald Trump for America’s 250th Independence anniversary.

The draft design shows Trump’s profile on the heads side. On the tails side — Trump with raised fist and U.S. flag.

[{"selector":"#anim-b347d526-2f51-4b91-a41e-377558c82a1b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-81d616d5-5654-402c-a409-aeaaba364775","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The tails design recalls Trump’s image after last year’s failed assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

[{"selector":"#anim-35e73a9f-cf96-48d4-a760-642f07af2af0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-feb5c51c-fb85-4f26-bf4d-f1bf6629f011","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Treasurer Brandon Beach confirmed the draft, saying: “No fake news here… these designs are real.”

[{"selector":"#anim-2bdd315e-f60d-4550-b45b-00e7a533a7b6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4def04e2-f3f3-44a3-afa0-0a19e34e9319","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But Treasury clarified: the $1 Trump coin design is still in draft stage — not final.

[{"selector":"#anim-85a1cb81-c74d-48a0-a768-f75ac3cb22f2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-319e9ada-0b12-48ba-84b0-a8af30d98c08","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.13652%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Laws ban living presidents on U.S. currency — but commemorative coins by the Mint have more flexibility.

[{"selector":"#anim-4ae2265c-ee4f-4f37-9e51-1cfa03f6afff","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7af97f17-13e0-4206-8425-5f06e1ce2464","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The U.S. Mint has a history of commemorative coins, from famous women on quarters to state-themed issues.

[{"selector":"#anim-e83fc474-bae7-4ef7-8a86-1231abbfa651","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d21f2b61-ef91-4957-af38-4d5a0f06739d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Under a 2021 law, Treasury is authorized to issue $1 coins for America’s 250th birthday in 2026.

[{"selector":"#anim-fa4b76a8-7d6b-4f74-afad-4a1e6bb5eac8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a008fddd-f29f-4c1a-8053-786713bfdc93","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1c4adc58-963a-4631-abef-2de75bc8b96f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.843749786673241%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

If approved, the Trump coin would mark a historic and controversial moment in U.S. currency history.

[{"selector":"#anim-61cc351e-265e-45c0-9321-2e084a2bd6d7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8400da31-f901-4c41-ace8-1156aa6fc256","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
