Donald Trump became the first sitting president of the United States to see his face on a one-dollar coin. The new piece, which began being officially sold this Wednesday, was created to commemorate the 250 years of independence of the country.

The coin is available for purchase in rolls and bags aimed at collectors. This is a special edition that marks a historic milestone in American currency, by representing a president currently in office.

The country celebrates in 2026 the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, established in 1776, and this coin is part of the celebrations planned for the anniversary. The issuance coincides with a period of intense economic and political activity in the United States.
