Treasury Releases Draft Images of Proposed Trump $1 Commemorative Coin

The U.S. Treasury Department released draft design images on October 3, 2025 for a proposed $1 commemorative coin featuring President Trump's likeness, scheduled for a potential July 4, 2026 release. The proposal was the first in American history to feature a sitting president on U.S. currency during their own term. Critics noted a federal statute prohibits placing living persons on U.S. currency and raised concerns about the use of Treasury resources for political promotion.
