The U.S. Mint, a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, has issued coins featuring the image of Donald Trump, making him the first living U.S. president to appear on American currency in nearly a century. The one-dollar coin was issued as part of celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the United States. It features Trump’s portrait along with the inscription, “In God We Trust.”
The coin is the first U.S. coin to feature the image of a living president since a coin bearing the portrait of Calvin Coolidge was issued in 1926. The U.S. Mint has set the price at $61 for a roll of 25 coins and $154.50 for a bag of 100 coins. However, within a few hours of going on sale, the coins were listed as “currently unavailable” on the U.S. Mint’s website.
