The U.S. Mint has begun producing a new one-dollar coin that features President Donald Trump’s face. Multiple outlets report that the coin is a commemorative issue and that it is expected to be available to the public in the fall. Sources describe it as part of a broader pattern of U.S. government items bearing the President’s name and image. Business Insider adds that the U.S. Treasury previously unveiled a related $1 gold coin with a Trump portrait, noting a departure from past practice in which living persons generally did not appear on U.S. currency. Other coverage highlights that the move draws criticism from opponents, who question whether the Mint should put a current political figure’s likeness on a U.S. coin. Across the reports, the key points are that production has started, the coin carries Trump’s portrait, and the release is planned for the fall, with the issue also becoming a subject of public debate and criticism. The U.S. Mint and Treasury present the coin as a commemorative product, while critics focus on the tradition and symbolism of putting a living president on money.
