$1 Trump coin draft is 'real,' US Treasurer says

A portrait of President Donald Trump may be featured on a commemorative $1 coin issued by the United States Mint in honor of America’s 250th birthday in 2026, according to first drafts of the images confirmed by the US Treasury.

“No fake news here,” US Treasurer Brandon Beach post on X in response to images of the coin on X. “These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and @POTUS are real. Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.”

The draft images show Trump’s side profile on the front with “Liberty” at the top, “In God we Trust” on the bottom and the dates 1776 and 2026. On the reverse is the famous image of Trump raising his fist after the Bulter, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt, with the words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” at the top and an American flag billowing behind his head.

Americans don't use dollar coins anyway.
Suzie Slugs and Sacajawea coins as change at the metro.

If given one, I would not accept it!

At least it’s only a dollar, so I won’t mind throwing away any that I might receive.

Of course the MAGATs will probably hoard them, so hopefully I’ll never even see it.

Several people pointed out that the 1866 Thayer amendment, passed by Republican Martin Russell Thayer, and subsequent laws prohibit living people from being depicted on American currency. So, for Trump to put himself on a coin, the law says he would have to die.

Draft.
