The US Treasury Department is evaluating a proposal to feature President Donald Trump on a one-dollar coin commemorating America's 250th anniversary. A design draft released on Friday shows Trump's profile alongside the words Liberty and In God We Trust with the dates 1776-2026 on one side. The reverse displays Trump with a raised fist before an American flag backdrop with the phrases Fight fight fight, United States of America, and E pluribus unum.
The imagery references a photograph captured by AP's Evan Vucci after an assassination attempt against Trump in July 2024. A Treasury Department representative stated that no final design has been chosen for the semiquincentennial dollar coin. Current federal law typically bars images of living individuals on US currency, and the 2020 Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act specifically prohibits portraits on the reverse side of the commemorative coin.
