U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on July 16 that the United States Mint will produce a $1 commemorative coin to mark the 250th anniversary of the country’s founding. The coin will have a gold-colored appearance but will not contain actual gold or other precious metals. Its obverse will feature President Donald Trump in a suit and tie, along with the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the dates 1776-2026. The reverse will show the U.S. Great Seal eagle and the markings “$1” and “250.” The coin is expected to be released this fall. According to the report, the move breaks with the long-standing tradition that living presidents do not usually appear on U.S. currency. Bessent described the issue as “an enduring symbol of patriotism” and “a commemoration of the legacy of liberty.”
