$1 Trump coin is ‘real,’ US Treasurer says

The United States Mint has released draft designs for a $1 coin honoring America's 250th birthday in 2026, featuring President Donald Trump. While Treasury officials confirm the drafts are real, legal questions arise as US law typically prohibits depicting living presidents or former presidents on coins until two years after their death. The designs, which include Trump's profile and an image from a past assassination attempt, are under review, with no final design yet selected. This initiative falls under the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act, aimed at commemorating the semiquincentennial.
