US Mint begins producing a $1 coin bearing Trump's face that will be available in the fall

Trump - (Copyright 2026 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)

The U.S. Mint has begun producing a new $1 coin bearing President Donald Trump's face that will be released in the fall, the Treasury Department said Wednesday.

The final design for the commemorative coin to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday was approved earlier this year by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by Trump. But the finished product unveiled Wednesday differs from that version in a few aspects, including that it is not made of gold but rather has a gold finish.
