The U.S. Mint releases and begins selling a new $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump in connection with the nation’s 250th anniversary. The coin’s design includes a likeness of the president on the obverse and is issued in a limited quantity, with the Mint producing 250,000 coins.
According to outlets, the Mint’s rollout starts with sales beginning at noon Wednesday. The design is described as a portrait-based depiction of Trump, created by United States Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna, and said to be inspired by an official White House photo credited to Daniel Torok. While coverage focuses broadly on the coin’s launch and commemorative purpose, both reports emphasize the same core details: the coin’s Trump imagery, the 250th anniversary theme, the limited number minted, and the timing of the start of sales.
