The coins are legal tender and will be sold above face value in rolls of 25 for $61 and bags of 100 for $154.50, with a separate limited-run 24-karat gold version also in development. Minted in Philadelphia, the design features Trump's profile alongside the inscriptions "In God We Trust," "Liberty," and "1776 ~ 2026" on the obverse side, with the Presidential Seal on the reverse side. Democratic lawmakers have raised legal objections citing long-standing federal bans against featuring living individuals on American currency, making Trump the first sitting president on a coin since Calvin Coolidge in 1926. Administration officials defend the effort, arguing that the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 permits living figures on the front of commemorative coins and honors the nation's semiquincentennial.
