US arts commission approves gold coin stamped with Donald Trump’s face
AI Summary
In March 2026, the US Commission of Fine Arts approved a commemorative gold coin featuring Donald Trump's presidential portrait. The commission, comprised of Trump appointees, unanimously approved the coin, despite legal questions surrounding depicting a living president on currency. While federal law prohibits living presidents on US currency intended for circulation, this coin is intended as a commemorative item. The Trump administration has also reportedly advanced plans for a $1 coin featuring Trump, which has faced criticism and resistance from the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. The gold coin will feature a bald eagle on one side and Trump's portrait on the other, based on a photograph in the National Portrait Gallery.
