Treasury Plans Minting $1 Trump Coin
Treasury Plans Minting $1 Trump Coin
The News
The Treasury Department is considering producing a one-dollar coin featuring President Donald Trump to commemorate the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence next year, a spokesperson confirmed on Friday.
The draft design of the coin, which was overseen by the Office of the U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach, features Trump’s profile on one side of the coin. The opposite side depicts Trump with a clenched fist in front of an American flag alongside the words “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.”
Reactions
“Despite the radical left’s forced shutdown of our government, the facts are clear: Under the historic leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our nation is entering its 250th anniversary stronger, more prosperous, and better than ever before,” a Treasury Department spokesperson said in a statement.
“While a final $1 dollar coin design has not yet been selected to commemorate the United States’ semiquincentennial, this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles.”
Beach, who supervises the U.S. Mint, said in a post on X Friday that the administration would share “more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday told reporters she wasn’t sure whether Trump was aware of the effort to put his likeness on a coin.
“I’m not sure if he’s seen it but I’m sure he’ll love it,” she said.

Congress in 2020 passed bipartisan legislation, signed by Trump during his first term, that authorizes the Treasury Secretary to issue one-dollar coins during the 2026 calendar year. The design of those coins must be “emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial.”
Living people are rarely featured on U.S. money. Congress has imposed various restrictions on the ability of Treasury to feature living people and living presidents on currency. It’s not clear whether the latest Trump coin envisioned by the Treasury Department would run afoul of those laws.
