- A commemorative $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump may be issued by the US Mint for America's 250th birthday in 2026.
- Draft images show Trump's side profile on the front and an image of him raising his fist after an assassination attempt on the reverse.
- US law prohibits featuring living or recently deceased presidents on coins, raising questions about the legality of the design.
- The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act allows special $1 coins for the semiquincentennial but restricts portraits of living persons on the reverse.
- The Treasury confirms the drafts are legitimate but states a final design has not been selected.
- White House press secretary speculated Trump would 'love' the design if he saw it.
- Calvin Coolidge is the only living president previously featured on a coin in 1926.
