US Mint can begin producing Trump commemorative gold coin

11 hours ago

A federal arts commission approved the final design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin featuring President Donald Trump's image to celebrate America's 250th birthday.
The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members are Trump appointees, approved the design without objection, allowing the U.S. Mint to begin production.
The coin's size and denomination are still under discussion, with considerations for a larger size due to Trump's preference for 'big things.'
Federal law prohibits living presidents from appearing on U.S. currency, but the Treasury secretary has authority to authorize gold coins, bypassing this restriction.
The coin's design includes Trump in a stern pose with 'LIBERTY,' 'IN GOD WE TRUST,' and '1776-2026' inscriptions, along with a bald eagle on the reverse.
The coin will be part of a limited production run, with exact numbers and specifications yet to be finalized.
