Trump gets approval for gold coin in his likeness - Jamaica Observer

WASHINGTON: On Thursday a federal arts commission unanimously approved the design of a 24-karat commemorative gold coin bearing President Donald Trump's image, clearing a procedural hurdle for the U.S. Mint to finalize dimensions and prepare production tied to the nation's 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026. The approval prompted legal and public debate this week, with U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach endorsing the design while critics questioned precedent; the U.S. Mint and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are now expected to determine denomination, final size, production schedule, pricing, and issuance timeline ahead of the July observance.
