The U.S. Mint announced Wednesday that it put into circulation new $1 coins featuring U.S. President Donald Trump, making him the first living president to appear on a circulating coin and the first American leader in a century to be featured on the coinage.
The Mint, a bureau of the Treasury Department responsible for producing U.S. coinage, said the coins were available for purchase.
"Available for purchase today at 12 p.m. ET: 2026 President Donald J. Trump $1 Coin. These coins are also in circulation, so check your pocket change. Collect them today!" the Mint wrote on X.
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Trump along with the inscriptions "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "1776 ~ 2026."
The reverse features the Presidential Seal, depicting an eagle holding an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, with a shield bearing the number "250" to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.
