Donald Trump’s portrait has made its way on to a US coin – the first time a living leaderhas appeared on American currency in a century.
On Wednesday, the US Mint launched the commemorative $1 coin with a portrait of Trump alongside the words “IN GOD WE TRUST”, to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
The special-edition coin captures “the spirit, pride, and legacy of a nation approaching its landmark anniversary”, the US Mint said.
The coins – priced at $61 (£45) for a roll of 25 and a bag of 100 for $154.50 – were “not currently in stock” on the US Mint’s website within hours of going on sale. The The Mediahas contacted the US Mint, the Treasury and the White House for further details.
The coin has been “created to celebrate this historic national milestone” with a “once-in-a-generation anniversary design destined to become a standout addition to modern collections”, the US Mint said.
They are also being sold in vending machines at the US Mint store in Washington DC.
