Trump Could Be Featured on New $1 Coin for America’s 250th Anniversary [WATCH]

The Treasury Department is reviewing a proposal to mint new $1 coins featuring President Donald Trump’s image as part of the upcoming commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary, FOX Business reported Friday.

In a statement provided to FOX Business, a Treasury spokesperson tied the proposed coin to the broader effort to honor the nation’s founding.

“Despite the radical left’s forced shutdown of our government, the facts are clear: Under the historic leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our nation is entering its 250th anniversary stronger, more prosperous, and better than ever,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson added that a design has not yet been finalized.

“While a final $1 dollar coin design has not yet been selected to commemorate the United States’ semiquincentennial, this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles. We look forward to sharing more soon,” the statement continued.

The draft image reviewed depicts President Trump in front of an American flag with his fist raised.

The design bears a resemblance to a photograph widely circulated after the assassination attempt against him in Pennsylvania last year, where Trump was seen reacting after being wounded in the ear and escorted off stage by Secret Service agents.

The Treasury Department has the statutory authority to authorize $1 collectible coins, including those minted to mark special anniversaries such as the United States’ semiquincentennial in 2026.

Collectible coin programs have been issued in previous years to commemorate historical figures and milestones.

The U.S. Mint most recently released commemorative coins in 2024 honoring Harriet Tubman and the Greatest Generation.

According to Mint data, the Tubman coin sold 56,894 units, while the Greatest Generation coin sold 79,980.

These figures reflect the relatively limited demand for recent commemorative coins compared with earlier programs.

Historically, several commemorative issues have seen significantly higher sales.

The Mint’s most successful commemorative coin to date remains the Statue of Liberty coin issued in 1986, which sold nearly 15.5 million coins.

Programs in the mid-1990s also saw widespread interest, particularly those linked to the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

Between 1995 and 1996, over 2.4 million commemorative coins were sold to mark the Olympic centennial.

Other high-demand issues included the 1982 George Washington 250th anniversary half dollar, which sold more than 7.1 million units, and the 1983–1984 Olympic coins for the Los Angeles Summer Games, which sold over 5 million.

The bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, marked by commemorative coins issued in 1987, resulted in sales topping 4 million.

Whether the proposed Trump $1 coin will be approved and how widely it will be issued has not yet been determined.

The Treasury Department is expected to release additional information as the nation moves closer to the 2026 semiquincentennial.
