The US Treasury reportedly plans to mint new $1 coins with US President Donald Trump’s face, according to a Fox Business report. The coins would celebrate Trump and commemorate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding. “Under the historic leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our nation is entering its 250th anniversary stronger, more prosperous, and better than ever,” a Treasury spokesperson told FOX Business.
“While a final $1 dollar coin design has not yet been selected to commemorate the United States’ semiquincentennial, this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles. We look forward to sharing more soon,” the statement added. A draft image of the coin is making its rounds on social media, depicting Trump in front of an American flag with his fist raised. The image bears a resemblance to the widely-circulated picture of Trump reacting to being wounded in the ear during an assassination attempt last year.
The last issued commemorative coins were the Harriet Tubman and Greatest Generation coins issued in 2024, which sold a total of 56,894 and 79,980 coins, respectively. The best-selling commemorative coin of all time was the U.S. Statue of Liberty coin in 1986, which sold nearly 15.5 million coins.
The Trump $1 coin would likely release in early 2026, although an official launch date is not yet known.
