Trump on the coin

The Slovenian newspaper Mladina reports that the U.S. Mint issued a special commemorative coin featuring the portrait of former President Donald Trump on the one-dollar coin, marking the first time a living president has appeared on U.S. currency in over a century. The coin was released on the 250th anniversary of American independence and includes inscriptions 'Liberty' and 'In God We Trust.' While the coins are made of copper alloy rather than gold, they retain legal tender status. The release sparked controversy, as some state laws prohibit depicting living individuals on U.S. coins. The U.S. Mint promoted the coin as a collectible item, though it can still be used as legal tender. Some retailers may choose not to accept payments with these coins due to federal law allowing private businesses to set their own payment preferences.
