The U.S. Mint is now producing a $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump’s face, tied to celebrations of America’s 250th birthday this year, the Treasury Department said Wednesday.

The coin’s final design was approved earlier this year by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts—a body whose members were appointed by Trump—though the version unveiled Wednesday differs slightly from what was cleared. Most notably, the coin isn’t solid gold; it carries a gold finish. It’s set for release this fall.
