Former President Trump on Saturday revealed that he is selling $100 “Trump Coins” with his face on them, calling the items a “true symbol of American greatness.”
The coins are now the latest product to be sold by Trump as he seeks a second term in the White House, following the launch of Trump Sneakers and “God Bless the USA” Bibles earlier this year.
“Trump Coins are designed by me and minted right here in the U.S.A. This beautiful, limited-edition coin commemorates our movement, our fight for freedom, prosperity and putting America first, we always put America first,” Trump said in a video message posted to Truth Social.
“It’s more than just a collector’s item, it’s a testament to the resilience and strength of the American people, our American patriots that we love so much,” he added.
The 1.6-inch coins are a “1oz .999% silver medallion” and are “struck with a proof finish featuring our 45th President’s profile on the obverse and the White House on the reverse,” according to a description on the Trump Coins website
*** In March, Trump announced he was partnering with country musician Lee Greenwood to sell “God Bless the USA” Bibles ahead of Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
“Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social at the time.

Trump is a celebrity hawking his products. But here is the thing....people, lots and lots of people are buying it. Add shipping labels and you now know the locations of your constituency. Throw in some AI and you have a pretty effective ad campaign targeting a demographic.
Kamala has useful idiots banging on doors. Trump has taken a business approach to his campaigning.
that one looks a bit queer?
Can I use them to pay John Wick?
“I bet this drives the left bonkers. All the bravado and confidence.”
He makes his own money - he’s not a leech or a thief, like leftist politicians are.
“I bet this drives the left bonkers. All the bravado and confidence.”
I know this drives theGAG bonkers.
My brother and I “spent” one on some pizza. Had to tell them it was fake.
Going price of silver !!!
And weight of coin.
The idea behind currency is that it has a set value. A dollar is a dollar. It doesn’t fluctuate. Merchants and customers know what they’re getting. That’s not the case here.
Excellent marketing
The democrats will squeal giving Trump free advertising for his fund raising.
There’s a TV commercial touting the Trump Coin and the Harris Coin. I think this one is different...only $80 for either.
Clearly not legal tender...has the candidate’s face on the obverse and the candidate’s issues on the reverse.
I have gold coins. Same thing.
