"To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the US's independence, the treasury department is mulling production of a $1 coin displaying Donald Trump with a clenched first under an American flag and the words fight, fight, fight. The words overtly reference what Trump said immediately after narrowly surviving an assassination attempt four months before he won a second presidency. US treasurer Brandon Beach effectively announced a draft design of the coin Friday on X, saying: No fake news here."
"US treasurer Brandon Beach effectively announced a draft design of the coin Friday on X, saying: No fake news here. These drafts honoring America's 250th birthday and [Trump] are real. The X post which boosted another account commenting on the draft design said Beach looked forward to sharing more after the end of the partial government shutdown that began after midnight Wednesday when Senate Democrats demanding concessions on healthcare and other spending priorities refused to provide the votes necessary to pass a Republican-backed funding bill."
"One side of the coin on whose draft design Beach commented Friday showed Trump's profile alongside Liberty, In God we Trust, and 1776-2026. The other side referenced the attempt on Trump's life at a political rally in Pennsylvania last year, when authorities said a sniper injured Trump's right ear and wounded two others before being shot to death by the US Secret Service."
The treasury department is considering producing a $1 coin for the 250th anniversary featuring Donald Trump with a clenched fist beneath an American flag and the words "fight, fight, fight." The phrase references Trump shouting those words after narrowly surviving an assassination attempt months before winning a second presidency. US treasurer Brandon Beach posted a draft design on X and said the drafts honoring America's semiquincentennial and Trump are real, noting more details after a partial government shutdown. Legislation passed in 2020 authorizes $1 semiquincentennial coins for 2026. One coin face shows Trump's profile with Liberty and 1776-2026; the reverse references the Pennsylvania rally attack. A treasury spokesperson said the draft is not final but reflects the enduring spirit.
