President Trump’s face is now on a new $1 coin being sold by the US Mint, and collectors will have to shell out more than a buck to get their hands on one.
The Mint is selling the commemorative coins featuring the sitting president as part of its celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, according to its website.
“These coins are also in circulation, so check your pocket change. Collect them today!” the Mint said on X.
The Philadelphia-minted currency is available in 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags, and priced between $61 and $154.50, the Mint said.
One side features a portrait of Trump alongside the inscriptions “liberty” and “in God we trust” in all caps, along with “1776 ~ 2026.”
The portrait was designed by US Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna and was inspired by an official White House photograph taken by Daniel Torok, according to the Mint.

Looks like the mugshot.
I like that image
Doesn’t look much like Trump to me.
Fun fact: The “Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020” prohibits the use of portraits of living individuals on the reverse side of U.S. coins.
I’m no coin expert. So I guess Trump’s picture is on the obverse side here?
The mugshot seen around the world.
“The Philadelphia-minted currency is available in 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags, and priced between $61 and $154.50, the Mint said.”
Order the coins by the thousands or tens of thousands and use them to pay for everything!
Nothing will tick off a liberal more than having to accept the Trump Coins for payment.
I have 2 Trump coins from his first term ,LOL
Or just get the circulation ones at the bank.
It’s honestly not too bad, even if it is the mugshot.
I’m a coin collector and have an account with the US Mint.
Today at 12 eastern, these coins went on sale. It took an hour to get through the website. They created a ‘virtual waiting room’ where they gave you a place in line.
I am now the proud owner of a $100 bag and a couple rolls of the Donald J. Trump 250th Anniversary dollar coins.
Yes, buying from the Mint is a little pricey. $150 dollars in coins cost me $273 with shipping.
I feel good.
Too cartoonish. It could be more realistic, like the Lincoln image.
““These coins are also in circulation, so check your pocket change. Collect them today!” the Mint said on X.”
“...available in 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags, and priced between $61 and $154.50, the Mint said.”
The odds of getting one in circulation (how, exactly?) seem pretty slim. Stores don’t give you change in dollar coins. Banks? Good luck.
Get your Trump Coins in Circulation ASAP!
out of stock at the mint.
Shave Lincoln’s beard and make him a toe head...lol
The mugshot is much harsher and/or dramatic.
Commemorative coin.
Same value as the Obama plates that came out in 2010
> Too cartoonish. <
I have to agree. Maybe the weird gold color has something to do with it. The coin almost looks like it was made out of clay.
Yes it is.
