The U.S. Treasury Department on Friday unveiled a draft design for a new $1 coin featuring former President Donald Trump. According to Reuters, the coin is slated for release in 2026 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence.
One side of the proposed coin depicts Trump with a raised fist, accompanied by the words “Fight, Fight, Fight” — a phrase he famously used after surviving an attack last year. The reverse side includes his image alongside the figure of Liberty and the dates “1776–2026,” symbolizing the nation’s semiquincentennial.
The Treasury stated that the design is intended to reflect the “strong spirit of the nation.” However, it emphasized that this is only a draft and the final design has not yet been confirmed.
This would not be the first time a commemorative dollar coin marks a major U.S. milestone. In 1976, a special edition featuring the Liberty Bell and the moon was issued in honor of the country’s 200th anniversary, showcasing President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
White House spokeswoman Carolyn Levitt noted that Trump likely hasn’t seen the design yet, but added, “He would probably like it.”
The coin is expected to spark both interest and debate.
Says a social media handler, “The White House has announced the US Treasury will be producing $1 coins with President Trump’s face. The only problem? It’s completely ILLEGAL. Only portraits of deceased individuals are allowed on currency: 31 U.S. Code § 5114.”
