New $1 Trump Coin in the Works for America’s 250th Anniversary

This article was originally published  by The Epoch Times: New $1 Trump Coin in the Works for America’s 250th Anniversary

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt recently expressed optimism about a new initiative: the creation of a $1 commemorative coin featuring the likeness of former President Donald Trump. As the nation gears up to celebrate its 250th anniversary of independence, the Treasury Department is putting pen to paper (or perhaps more appropriately, metal to mint).

In an Oct. 3 post on X, Treasurer Brandon Beach confirmed the initial design drafts for the coin. “No fake news here. These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and [Trump] are real,” he assured, with a touch of irony, as though reminding us that truth is often stranger—or more suspicious—than fiction.

The coin’s reverse side displays a resolute Trump amidst an American flag, fists raised, with the motivational phrase “Fight, fight, fight” emblazoned above. This imagery harks back to his fist-pumping moment in Butler, Pennsylvania, following an assassination attempt at a July 2024 campaign rally—an emblematic representation for those who view enduring political drama as par for the course.

Meanwhile, the obverse features Trump’s profile accompanied by the traditional “Liberty” and “In God We Trust.” While the coin will legally serve as tender, its actual presence in everyday transactions may hinge on public enthusiasm and distribution strategies.

A spokesman for the Treasury clarified that a final design hasn’t yet been selected, but indicated that the current draft reflects the “enduring spirit of our country and democracy,” albeit one that teeters on the brink of governmental obstruction.

During the same Oct. 3 press briefing, Leavitt confirmed the president had not yet glimpsed the draft, quipping, “I’m not sure if he’s seen it, but I’m sure he’ll love it.” It’s a testament to the way politics and skepticism intertwine—a classic case of rhetorical optimism.

Naturally, this new coin is part of a broader celebration of American history, marking the 250th anniversary of independence next year. Back in 2020, Trump signed the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act, which enables the issuing of $1 coins in 2026 that celebrate this milestone.

Interestingly, the 2020 legislation imposes strict limitations on which figures can grace our currency. Typically, presidents don’t appear on coins until posthumous accolades can be afforded, making this move a rather peculiar exception. More traditionally, coins honor significant events or contributions from various facets of society, including women’s roles in shaping the nation, a subject noticeably absent from recent political discourse.

The last sitting president to have their visage stamped on currency was Calvin Coolidge, an honor that served to commemorate the sesquicentennial of the Declaration of Independence—not a particularly relatable precedent given the current political divides.

Penny for Your Thoughts

Curiously, this administration has been eager to overhaul aspects of the U.S. coinage system. Earlier this year, Trump voiced his desire to end penny production, labeling the minting of one-cent coins as financially wasteful. “For far too long, the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents,” he argued, posing a rhetorical question that addressed the folly of inefficiency—and perhaps encouraging a broader conversation about fiscal responsibility.

Indeed, the U.S. Mint reported that it costs approximately 3.7 cents to produce a penny, much to the amusement of anyone paying attention to budgetary inefficiencies. Rising production costs, primarily driven by escalating zinc prices, complicate this matter further—highly relevant considering the nickel’s manufacturing costs also exceed its face value.
