US Mint unveils special $1 coin featuring Trump for America’s 250th anniversary

World

  • The US Mint began selling a $1 coin on Wednesday featuring Trump’s face, marking America’s 250th anniversary.
  • Though the coin looks gold, it is mostly made of copper. A roll of 25 costs $61, far above its face value.
  • The move is notable because only one living president, Calvin Coolidge in 1926, had previously appeared on circulating US currency.
  • The design was approved by the Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by Trump.
