US Treasury Plans Trump Commemorative $1 Coin for 250th Anniversary

The US Treasury is considering minting a $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026. The draft coin design displays Trump's profile on one side and a depiction of him with a raised clenched fist alongside the words "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT" on the other, referencing his reaction after surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last year. US Treasurer Brandon Beach confirmed the development and emphasized that the coin design aligns with the semiquincentennial celebration authorized by bipartisan legislation signed by Trump in 2020. While the draft has been publicly shared, Treasury officials have clarified that the final design has yet to be selected. The initiative is part of a broader effort, including the White House Task Force on Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday, which Trump chairs, aimed at fostering renewed patriotism and historical appreciation. This coin would join recent commemorative issues like those honoring Harriet Tubman and the Greatest Generation, which saw modest sales.
