US, Treasury prepares coin with Trump face and fist raised
In a post on social media, relayed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, US Treasurer Brandon Beach shared early drafts of the currency
A one-dollar coin with the effigy of President Donald Trump, with his fist raised, an American flag behind him, and the words 'Fight, Fight, Fight', the words he uttered after the failed assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.
It is being prepared by the Treasury Department in view of the 250th anniversary of the country's independence, which falls in 2026.
In a post on social media, relayed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, US Treasurer Brandon Beach shared early drafts of the coin.
Beach posted 'early sketches' of the project on X, adding that he "looks forward to sharing more soon, once the paralysis of the US government caused by the obstructionists is over."
The initiative comes after Congress, in 2020, passed a law - signed by Trump during his first term - authorising the Treasury to issue one-dollar coins 'with designs emblematic of the United States' semiquincentennial. These coins may be minted and issued in the one-year period starting in January 2026.
