A new Trump gold coin was put under the microscope on US television, as Pawn Stars frontman Rick Harrison told viewers in New York that the Donald Trump commemorative 'Trump Gold Coin' now on sale is mostly copper and not made of real gold at all.
The design features a gold-coloured $1 coin stamped with Trump's image on one side and a stylised eagle on the other, and has been heavily promoted online as a patriotic keepsake tied to the run-up to America's 250th anniversary. The president began marketing the limited-edition pieces as 'gold' coins, prompting curiosity from political supporters, bullion buyers and casual collectors alike.
