The U.S. Treasury Department is considering placing the image of U.S. president Donald Trump on a one-dollar coin commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence.
According to the first draft, published on Friday, the coin depicts Trump's profile on 1 page as well as words ‘Liberty’ and ‘In God in trust” and dates 1776–226.The another side depicts Trump lifting a clenched fist against the US flag, with subtitles "Fight, fight, fight", "United States of America" and "E pluribus unum".The painting is simply a clear tribute to the photograph taken by Evan Vucci of the AP shortly after the failed effort to assassinate Trump in July 2024, which was widely published in American and global media."Despite the forced closure of our government by the extremist left, the facts are clear: under the historical leadership of president Donald J. Trump our country enters its 250th anniversary stronger, richer and better than always before” said the spokesperson for the Treasury Department in a statement."Although the final plan of a one-dollar coin commemorating the half-hundredth anniversary of the United States has not yet been chosen, this first draft reflects the unbreakable spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles" added the spokesman.
By "Washington Post", US law mostly prohibits the placing of images of surviving persons on coins.
In addition, the Act on Changing the Appearance of Circular Collector Coins of 2020, which authorized the issue of an anniversary coin, prohibits the placing of busts or portraits of persons on the reverse.
