A retired Portland, Oregon, attorney and former federal employee has filed a federal lawsuit to stop the U.S. Mint from producing a commemorative gold coin featuring President Donald Trump’s likeness, arguing the move violates federal law governing U.S. currency.
James Rickher filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Oregon against the Treasury Department and U.S. Mint, seeking to block production before minting begins. A hearing in the case is expected in the coming weeks.
