The United States has unveiled the draft design for a new $1 coin featuring former President Donald Trump as part of the country’s 250th Independence Day celebration plans. The commemorative coin, which is still in its proposal stage, is intended to honor key figures in America’s modern political history. It will be officially released if approved by Congress and the US Mint.

The coin design showcases Trump’s profile on one side, with the American flag and the phrase “250 Years of Freedom” on the reverse. Officials said the project aims to highlight significant contributors to the nation’s democratic journey and will include coins featuring other past presidents and national heroes.

While the announcement has sparked excitement among Trump supporters, critics argue that such recognition should only be given posthumously or based on bipartisan consensus. The final decision on the coin’s production is expected in early 2026.
