I guess you missed the BIG, BOLD AMERICAN FLAG right on the front of the coin.
Whenever Joe is ready to issue his first coin, let us know. People are in long lines waiting to scoop them up.
But a REAL US president:
- Would not have naked drug parties in the White House.
- Use his own family as a criminal crime syndicate to parlay his office into big bucks.
- Would not allow the invasion of more people than the population of 132 other countries.
- Would not run on fundamentally changing who America is.
- Would not use the Resolute Desk for blowjobs while selling missile technology to China and renting out the Lincoln Bedroom.

The Treasury might be able to mint the coin due to a law signed by Trump at the end of his first term.
The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 permits the Department to mint $1 dollar coins "with designs emblematic of the U.S. semiquincentennial" for one year starting in January of 2026, under the supervision of the Treasury secretary.
There are several provisions that could prevent Trump from appearing on currency, though it’s not clear if it would apply in the case of the commemorative $1 coin.
"There’s the Thayer Amendment, passed in 1866 that prohibits living persons from appearing on government securities. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing also cites a statute, 'By law, only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on U.S. currency and securities (31 USC 5114(b)).' This applies to any living person, so by extension any sitting president," Garrett Wilson, director of policy analysis at the Tax Foundation, said in an email.
"There’s also a separate provision prohibiting living former or current Presidents from appearing on the $1 coin, though I’m not sure if this directly applies here or not," he added.
Wilson noted that Congress could provide an exception as it did in 1926, when then-President Calvin Coolidge was featured on a specially issued half-dollar coin for the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
It was the first time a sitting president was featured on a coin during his lifetime, according to the U.S. Mint.
I doubt the coin has a shot. It’s a copy of readily available silver rounds with a denomination photoshopped on like they were Garcia’s knuckles! If something that blatantly self-serving and political is released, we will have really descended into the depths of fascism.

And, as far as I can tell, this is not legal tender, so no one will be forced to use it.

Thanks for that. Seems to explain everything.
Here are the presidential coins. They only get minted after death. Jimmy Carter's has not been minted yet...

Yawn, according to US law, it won't happen until after he's dead. "W" did the same thing with the golden dollar commemorative to ensure that his image would be on a coin, LOL, he was unaware that he'd never see it either because of the limit on living people on coinage or currency. Much ado distraction over NOTHING--just like Trump 2028. Trump could sneeze and the democrats would get into a tizzy.

If it isn't tender, it falls into the category of a medal---not coinage.

He's already assured a place on the Golden Presidential dollar series.
U.S. minted coins and medals must be authorized by an act of Congress, which outlines their specifications and design. This process ensures that each coin or medal serves a commemorative purpose or honors significant American people, places, or events. I doubt seriously that this will ever happen.

That's a commemorative. What this thread is about is bullion.
Big difference.
I've got a shitload of commemoratives that my mother-in-law bought that are worthless.
Fortunately, she also bought a truckload of legal tender coins of value, and some bullion.

Are they solid gold or just clad?
I don't like buying gold by the ounce. If we ever get to using gold as tender, an ounce is a pretty big amount of money -- almost $4K right now. I like these because they can be easily broken into grams for smaller purchases:
They also come in silver.

I laughed when I saw the title, and didn't even read the OP. But then I saw that image somewhere else.Render unto Ceaser that which is Ceasar's. An obvious commemorative coin well deserved.:
It's unclear if the draft images will go into production.
From Steve Guest/X
A portrait of President Donald Trump may be featured on a commemorative $1 coin issued by the United States Mint in honor of America’s 250th birthday in 2026, according to first drafts of the images confirmed by the US Treasury.
“No fake news here,” US Treasurer Brandon Beach post on X in response to images of the coin on X. “These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and @POTUS are real. Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.”
The draft images show Trump’s side profile on the front with “Liberty” at the top, “In God we Trust” on the bottom and the dates 1776 and 2026. On the reverse is the famous image of Trump raising his fist after the Bulter, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt, with the words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” at the top and an American flag billowing behind his head.
For the 250th Birthday?
What a great image. Trump standing up defiantly after being shot exemplifies the courage of all real Americans in one leader. Of course it should be produced. Not to celebrate Trump, but to celebrate us and our unity!
Absolutely!

He can't order the minting of any US coinage. It takes an act of congress. Quit wasting your time on this ignorant garbage.

Not from the US mint. If you had the money to commission a coin of your design to a private mint, you could and probably would too---if you thought you could make some money on it. Businesses and celebrities do it all the time--not much different from buying a star on Hollywood Blvd. LMAO SMFH
