U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach unveiled designs for a possible $1 coin featuring Donald Trump to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach shared designs for a potential $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump, timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

One side of the coin shows a side profile of Trump. The reverse depicts him raising a fist in front of an American flag, with the words “fight, fight, fight” encircling the image.

Beach said additional details would be released “soon,” once the federal government shutdown ends.

President Trump coin

Congress previously authorized the U.S. Mint to issue new $1 coins “with designs emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial.” If produced, Trump would be the first living president to appear on a $1 coin. From 2007 to 2016, the Mint released four coins annually honoring deceased presidents, and in 2020, it issued a coin honoring George H.W. Bush after his death.

In recent years, the Mint has also released $1 coins recognizing innovations from all 50 states and honoring Native American leaders. However, due to a surplus of $1 coins, production since 2011 has been limited to quantities meeting collector demand, with coins largely absent from general circulation.

It remains unclear whether the semiquincentennial coins will be intended for wide circulation or for collectors.

Deep State will see that it fails, but it sure would be fun to see certain heads explode. I’d be in for a couple of rolls.

“ due to a surplus of $1 coins”

Great for Friday night poker and slot machines, and because they’re metal, they don’t carry as much bacteria and cocaine as paper dollars.

Not while he is alive.

Let him issue Trump Coin II.

He’ll fleece his sheep that way.

I approve. Could the reverse be Trump standing on Biden’s neck?

I think the front should be the current silver dollar coin withe the dates like the bicentennial quarter was, but I kind of like that flip side.

Perhaps George Washington as first pres and Donald Trump as current on opposite sides

We got along as a nation just fine without dead leaders on our coins. Liberty in many different forms was the standard until 1909 when Lincoln was put on the 1¢ coin. That’s what our country used to be about: Liberty.

It wouldn’t truly be a “Trump” coin unless it was gold.

I am one of the naysayers. Coins are for dead Presidents to be on. Now get us back to 1 oz of Silver is worth 1 US Dollar. Of course that would mean dumping the Federal Reserve and giving the power back where it belongs to print money.

Okay, it cannot happen, but money MUST be tied to reality. Not just endless credit and borrowing from our enemies.

No.

Stop putting real people on our money. Bring back Lady Liberty, Indian heads, deities or even pine trees.

But stop with the real people.

Smacks of monarchism and we are a republic.

PS and make the coins out of silver dang it!
