U.S. Mint Launches Controversial Trump $1 Coin
The U.S. Mint has officially launched a new golden $1 coin featuring the likeness of former President Donald Trump, marking the first time a living president has been featured on U.S. currency in over a century. The coins are designed to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States and quickly sold out within hours of their release. However, they are being sold at a premium, costing collectors more than their face value, which has led to criticism and legal questions regarding their circulation. Despite polls showing low popularity for Trump, the coins are being marketed as collectible items, with sales available through the U.S. Mint in various forms, including collector rolls and bags.
