US Mint Begins Production of New $1 Coin Featuring Donald Trump

The US Mint has commenced production of a new commemorative $1 coin featuring Donald Trump, as announced by the Treasury Department on July 15, 2026. This coin is part of the celebration for the nation's 250th anniversary and will be released in the fall. Treasury officials noted that the final design was approved earlier this year by the US Commission of Fine Arts, which includes members appointed by Trump. The newly revealed version of the coin will have a gold finish, differing from the previously approved design, which was not specified to be made of solid gold.
