Trump becomes the first sitting President to appear on a US coin in a hundred years

Público3 September 2026 at 18:13

The US Mint began selling one-dollar coins with Donald Trump's portrait, making him the first sitting President to appear on a circulating coin in a hundred years. The release of these coins represents a historic milestone in American numismatics, marking a rare exception to the United States' coin minting tradition. The decision to include Trump's portrait on a circulating coin has sparked interest among both collectors and the general public. This singular event breaks a pattern of almost a century, during which no sitting President was represented on a circulating coin in the US.
