The U.S. Mint has released a new $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, the BBC reported.
The coin went on sale on Sept. 2 in bags and rolls, with a roll of 25 priced at $61 and a bag of 100 at $154.50. The coins may also be released into circulation later this fall.
The coin’s obverse features a portrait of Trump alongside the inscriptions «LIBERTY,» «IN GOD WE TRUST» and «1776 ~ 2026.» The reverse depicts the presidential seal and the number 250 in recognition of the anniversary.
The release makes Trump the first sitting U.S. president to appear on a U.S. coin since Calvin Coolidge was featured on a commemorative half-dollar in 1926 to mark the 150th anniversary of American independence.
Earlier this year, the U.S. State Department issued a commemorative passport featuring Trump. The document, dubbed the Patriot Passport, was also designed to mark the country’s 250th anniversary.
