The United States can experience a coin with Trump’s face despite a law he signed which prohibits collectibles with similar similarities

The Treasury Department plans to say a $ 1 piece sporting the resemblance of President Donald Trump to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026.
The conceptions of projects present Trump’s profile on the front side, with the word “Liberty” and the dates 1776-2026, and a reverse side showing Trump with a raised fist in front of an American flag.
The reverse rushed towards captured images of him after an attempted assassination on the political path in Pennsylvania during his campaign in 2024. The motto “Fight, Fight, Fight” appears above his image on the opposite side – a Trump song made the supporters plug in just after the attack.
“No false news here. These first drafts honoring the 250th anniversary of America and @potus are real,” wrote the American treasurer Brandon Beach on X in response to a revealing position of the sketches of the room.
Please note all patriots: America is back, as is the piece of a dollar.@Potus @Realdonaldtrump will forever be the face of the American 250th anniversary, thanks to @SecottBessente And @Treasurebeach.

But the Law on the overhaul of collector’s collection parts of 2020, which Trump signed in January 2021, declares: “No head and shoulder portrait or bust of any person, living or dead, and no portrait of a living person can be included in the design unlike specified documents”, which includes the semi-surface series.
This rule appeared in similar laws and restores the practice of long -standing treasure, although historians note an exception: Calvin Coolidge, which appeared on a commemorative half -dollar when it was still in power in 1926. Since then, Mint and the Treasury Department have strictly avoided living subjects – until now.
The final design of a $ 1 part to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence has not yet been selected, a treasury spokesman said on Friday.
“This first project well reflects the lasting spirit of our country and our democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles,” said the spokesperson, according to CNBC. “We can’t wait to share more soon.”
The Ministry of the Treasury did not immediately provide a comment to Fortune.
The Treasury has not set a date for the time the final project is decided, but the government’s closure could delay a final decision.
