The U.S. Mint began selling and circulating $1 coins featuring President Donald Trump at noon ET Wednesday, and the products were listed as out of stock within hours. The gold-colored semiquincentennial coins mark America’s 250th anniversary and carry Trump’s portrait with “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “1776 ~ 2026” on one side, with the presidential seal and “250” on the other. The Mint sold 25-coin rolls for $61 and 100-coin bags for $154.50, above the coins’ $1 legal-tender face value.
