New 1776-2026 Trump $1 coin

But they said it's a $1 coin -- that's different than a commemorative, isn't it? (Or am I out to lunch on this one?)

The only dollar coins defined in law are

• American Silver Eagle
• Native American / Innovation golden dollar (manganese brass clad to a copper core)

The Secretary of the Treasury has flexibility as to the design of gold coins but the specifications: the diameter, denomination,mass, and fineness is all specified by law.

 

My understanding is that it is a legal tender NON-circulating coin. I could certainly be wrong. But I hope I'm not. I don't like the idea of ANY living person on a coin, especially a living president on a circulating coin.

 

Not interested!

 

Both cute and funny. I'm glad I'm not interested either. I'd rather have "The old man" silver coin from Pawn Stars TV show.

 

some news outlets posts it as a 24karat gold coin ..

US Treasury reveals new 24-carat gold coin featuring Trump


The US Mint still does have the medallion in two sizes for outrageous prices.

 

Between this and all the other released the Mint sure knows it's customers... the mint set alone going from junk to a premium item is impressive...

 

This will be a great coin for Trump fans. I'll probably get a roll myself as long as prices aren't absurd.

 

Precious gold and golden-colored versions are two different US Treasury projects.

1. A base-metal, manganese flan, golden-colored, $1 coin that is to be soon (if not already) in production at the Philadelphia mint, and scheduled for release this coming autumn.

2. A 24-Karat gold proposal for a commemorative coin. This may or may not be definite.

The MSN article is conflating the two. The X post it cites refers to a the base-metal golden-colored coin.

 

I've been out of the country for a few weeks (just got back a few days ago). Can you explain that sentence?

 

For years the common mint set has been in low demand and has now become a premium item through marketing and artifical scarcity.
