Trump’s Face May Grace $1 Coin for U.S. 250th Anniversary

The Treasury Department is mulling a $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, a department spokesperson confirmed Friday.

The draft design, overseen by U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach, showcases Trump’s profile on one side and a raised fist before an American flag with “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT” on the reverse, evoking his defiance after a failed assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last year.

"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 before," the Treasury spokesperson said. "While a final $1 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."

Beach, who manages the U.S. Mint, posted on X: "No fake news here. These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and@POTUSare real. Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over."

Federal law typically bars living presidents from appearing on currency, a measure to avoid monarchy-like optics, per the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

Commemorative coins, produced by the U.S. Mint rather than the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, may offer more flexibility.

A 2020 law, signed by Trump, authorizes the Treasury Secretary to issue $1 coins for the semiquincentennial, requiring designs “emblematic” of the milestone.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Friday, "I’m not sure if he’s seen it but I’m sure he’ll love it."

The U.S. Mint recently issued quarters honoring deceased women like Ida B. Wells and Althea Gibson.

Meanwhile, the Treasury plans to phase out the penny, citing production costs exceeding its value.

This bold move to immortalize Trump on a coin screams defiance against the woke elites’ relentless assault on his legacy.

America’s 250th birthday deserves a tribute as fearless as the man who weathered their storms, and this coin could be it — unless the swamp sabotages it first.
