Trump's Face on US Currency: A Dubious Tribute to Liberty The U. S. Mint has begun producing a $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump's face as part of celebrations marking America's 250th birthday this year.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hailed the coin as "a lasting symbol of patriotism" that honors the "enduring legacy of liberty. " Critics, however, argue that putting a living president's image on U. S.
currency is a brazen attempt to rewrite history and flout federal law. The controversy surrounding Trump's signature on paper currency has been building for months.
