People across the U.S. will soon be able to see President Donald Trump’s signature on money and his portrait on a $1 coin, raising questions about whether his likeness violates federal law prohibiting living presidents from being featured on money.
To commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, the U.S. Mint is issuing $1 coins featuring Trump’s face, which the administration insists is allowed under a 2020 law that gives the Treasury secretary the authority to issue $1 coins “with designs emblematic of the U.S. semiquincentennial.”
