The U.S. Treasury is considering making a $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump to commemorate 250 years since the declaration of American independence in 2026, it said on Friday.
Images of the potential design showed Trump holding a raised clenched fist on one side of the coin alongside the words “fight, fight, fight” – a reference to what he said immediately after surviving an assassination attempt last year.
The other side of the coin shows Trump in profile with the word “liberty” above him and “1776-2026” written below, according to images shared by Treasurer Brandon Beach on X.
“While a final $1 dollar coin design has not yet been selected to commemorate the United States’ semiquincentennial, this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles,” a Treasury spokesperson said in a statement.
Beach said on X that more information would be shared following the end of the government shutdown, which has suspended many federal operations while lawmakers remain at an impasse over a new spending bill.
Asked on Friday whether Trump had seen the draft coin design, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, “I’m not sure if he’s seen it, but I’m sure he’ll love it.”
