According to BlockBeats, on July 16th, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant announced that the U.S. Mint will produce a $1 commemorative "gold coin" (gold-colored but containing no actual gold or precious metals) to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The obverse features a portrait of President Trump in a suit and tie, along with the words "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the dates 1776-2026; the reverse features the Great Eagle emblem of the United States, marked "$1" and "250." It is expected to be released this fall.
This move breaks with the tradition that living presidents are not usually featured on U.S. currency, and Bessant calls it a "lasting symbol of patriotism" and a "commemoration of the legacy of freedom."
