According to a Treasury insider, the Trump coin went from design render to struck "set-up coins" in 4 days—far faster than the normal 2-3 week timeline for this process.

Question

Accepted Answer

A Treasury source told Defector that the coin production was "moved fast," going from render submission on September 29 to struck coins by October 2, 2025—just four days. The normal timeline for going from render to dies to coins is two to three weeks. The expedited timeline shows political pressure from Washington to produce the coin quickly, bypassing standard review procedures. The source noted this level of speed is unusual and that the Trump dollar initiative "would not have originated at a Mint production facility; it would have come from Washington, D.C." The rush occurred despite the coin potentially violating federal law against living persons on currency.
