Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the unveiling of a new $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump. This coin will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, making Trump the first sitting U.S. president to be depicted on American currency. Bessent stated that the coin honors the legacy of liberty and symbolizes American values. The U.S. Mint was previously authorized by Congress to issue new $1 coins with designs emblematic of the semiquincentennial. While the Mint has issued various commemorative coins in recent years, the new Trump coin's intended circulation remains unclear, as production has been limited due to a surplus of $1 coins since 2011.
