"President Donald Trump appears poised to put his image on both sides of a commemorative $1 coin issued by the United States Mint the country's manufacturer of legal tender coinage that also produces commemorative coins. On October 3, the White House re-shared an X post from US Treasurer Brandon Beach confirming reports that the Trump administration was seeking to put the president's image on the front and back of a dollar coin commemorating the nation's 250th anniversary."
"Although the concept of a Trump coin runs counter to a longstanding tradition, there are no unscalable legal obstacles to establishing a US coin with Trump's image on it. Beach's X post showed the coin's front, featuring Trump's side profile, and its flip side an illustration of Trump pumping his fist after a 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The phrase, Fight Fight Fight lines the coin's perimeter, referencing a Trump rallying cry repeated after the assassination attempt."
The Trump administration plans a commemorative $1 coin for the nation's 250th anniversary that would feature President Donald Trump's image on both sides. The U.S. Mint would issue the coin, and the White House re-shared a post from U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach showing the design. The obverse includes Trump's side profile; the reverse depicts an illustration of Trump pumping his fist after a 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, with the phrase 'Fight Fight Fight' around the perimeter. US currency typically avoids living people and sitting presidents, but past commemoratives have featured living figures and legal barriers appear surmountable.
