The United States Mint has released 250,000 $1 coins featuring the likeness of President Donald Trump to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary
The coins, released on Wednesday, are legal tender and have also entered circulation, meaning members of the public could receive them as change when making cash payments.
US Mint, in a post on its website, said the coin features a portrait of Trump designed by the United States Mint Chief Engraver, Joseph Menna, and inspired by an official White House photograph by Daniel Torok.
“The reverse (tails) design features the Presidential Seal, which shows an eagle holding an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, with a shield on its breast and a banner inscribed ‘E PLURIBUS UNUM’ in its beak.
“The shield contains the additional inscription ‘250’ to honor the Semiquincentennial of the United States. The additional inscriptions are ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ and ‘ONE DOLLAR.’
The coins have a gold-like finish but are made from non-precious metals. They are being minted in Philadelphia.
The Mint is selling the coins in rolls of 25 and bags of 100. A roll costs $61, while a bag costs $154.50.
