WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Mint has begun producing a new $1 coin bearing President Donald Trump’s face to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday, the Treasury Department said Wednesday.

The final design for the commemorative coin, being released in the fall, was approved earlier this year by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by Trump. But the finished product unveiled Wednesday differs from that version in a few aspects, including that it is not made of gold but rather has a gold finish.

The coin is intended “to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a post on X. “Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all.”

Trump, a Republican, has a penchant for putting his name and likeness in the historical record, following his renaming of the U.S. Institute of Peace, the Kennedy Center performing arts venue and a new class of battleships, among other tributes. The move to put his face on the gold coin has drawn criticism in particular because federal law prohibits the depiction of a living president on U.S. currency, though the treasury secretary has the authority to authorize the minting and issuance of coins in some circumstances.

24. Outstanding...!

[bob4460]

4. The law

There is no official circulating U.S. Mint Presidential $1 coin for Jimmy Carter Bill Clinton. By law, the U.S. Mint Presidential $1 coin program required former presidents to be deceased for at least two years before a coin could be issued.

5. Well okay, I guess that would be a worthy trade off.

[ZZenith]

6. "Your proposal is acceptable."

[Sweet Rosie Red]

14. So it's not legal tender?

I would be within my rights to refuse them? That could be a national movement!

[RVN VET71]

22. FATTY SHITPANTS THINKS HE'S A ROMAN FU*KEN EMPEROR!!!

Delusional? Seriously, his ugly mug really should be in Webster's nest to the word. Also, next to "war criminal", "inept", "blowhard", "racist", "misogynist" and, of course, "pedophile," and many, many others.

7. I don't want one.

[BobsYourUncle]

19. So thankful for the cashless society.

I’ll have no need to ever handle one. I’m pretty sure I’ve made fewer than a dozen transactions involving paper/coin per year since O’bama’s time. Legacy money. What a bother!

[BurnDoubt]

8. A copy of his...

… Death Certificate on the Three-Dollar Bill. (After the usual Mourning Period).
So… NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell No!
And FUCK NO!!!!!

[BurnDoubt]

9. Although...

The coins could be used to “stone” offenders in highly ironic twist.
Down-right Biblical in its Poetic Justice.

[demosincebirth]

10. I won't take it. Give me change or paper.

[BidenRocks]

12. Toss them in with the Susie slugs and the Sacajawea dollars!

[niyad]

16. Those were/are legitimate currency, though the design of the

Susan B. Anthony coin was flawed.

[BidenRocks]

17. The island of misfit coins.

Chump likes islands!

[BobsYourUncle]

20. I've never seen one of those. N/T

[sprinkleeninow]

13. Been watching my expressions, my 'mouth' lately, but excuse me

while I go and hurl.

[TheRickles]

15. There's always a loophole: "....in some circumstances"

[rubbersole]

18. Could use 2 of them on Lindsey's eyes.

[3Hotdogs]

21. Trumparhea coin. You and I will probably never see one. When did you last see a $1 coin? Try to get one from a bank.

Banks have to special order them.

Britain has a 1 LB coin. and it is one excellent circulating coin because it is about the size of a nickel but it is thicker and has weight and it feels like something substantial.

Maybe some Maggots will order a roll or two. The rest will remain in Treasury's storage from now until the Republicans Party ends the United States of America as we know it.

23. Finished with gold spray paint would have been even more appropriate.

Also, “has a penchant for putting his name and likeness in the historical record, following his renaming of ……..the Kennedy Center performing arts venue”?

Way to sanewash, HuffPoo.

How about has a pathological obsession with seeing his name and likeness everywhere he turns…..including strangely adding his name to the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, designated by Congress to be a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy.

25. I'll have to buy an engraving laser and inscribe "PEDO" on every one that finds its way into my hands.

29. Brilliant idea!

[bucolic_frolic]

26. They won't circulate, no one will accept them

Got a 2 lb. hammer handy?

[Goonch]

27. ;-{) THIS

[KS Toronado]

30. JFM ?

[Goonch]

31. ;-{).....

On the newly unveiled draft for the U.S. commemorative $1 coin, the initials JFM stand for Joseph F. Menna. He is the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint

28. It seems like no one in government ever learned

to say no to their children.

[radical noodle]

32. The last time a coin was struck with a living president's image

was Calvin Coolidge on the 150th anniversary of the US. No one wanted them and most were finally melted down. Make trump as unpopular as Calvin.

[Shipwack]

34. So there's precedent. Interesting.

However, bad idea then and bad idea now.
