commemoration of the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, the Treasury Department is considering minting $1 coins bearing President Donald Trump’s image, according to Fox Business.

“Despite the radical left’s forced shutdown of our government, the facts are clear: Under the historic leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our nation is entering its 250th anniversary stronger, more prosperous, and better than ever,” a Treasury spokesperson told FOX Business.

The U.S. Mint’s two most recently issued commemorative coins were the Harriet Tubman and Greatest Generation coins issued in 2024, but the best selling coin of all time is the U.S. Statue of Liberty coin in 1986, which sold nearly 15.5 million coins.

While the Treasury is considering designs, social media has weighed in on the notion and the prototypes showing Trump in front of an American flag with his fist raised and bears a resemblance to the widely-circulated picture of Trump reacting to being wounded in the ear during an assassination attempt last year in Pennsylvania as he was escorted off the stage by Secret Service agents.

“That coin will be worth .08 by the end of 2026,” quippedX user Riley the Dog.

X user Rob Parker said “The joke on America continues … The coin should display something that has made America proud for 250 years.”

Democratic activist account Cheese Pundit asked on X, “Did a law change making it legal to put living presidents on US currency? Thought you had to be dead like two years first.” (Calvin Coolidge was alive and well when he was put onto the 1926 sesquicentennial half dollar, meaning commemorative coins are not subject to that law.)

Even conservative X account Mayor of DeSantisville thinks it’s not such a mint idea, saying, “The US Mint is bringing back the $1 coin (which has failed miserably every time it’s been tried). Guess whose image is going to be on the coin? Just take a guess.”
