Trump $1 coin makes him first living president on US currency in a century - BBC
Donald Trump became the first living U.S.
The coin features Trump's likeness alongside the words "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST," released as part of a commemoration of America's 250th anniversary. The U.S. Mint described the special-edition piece as capturing "the spirit, pride, and legacy of a nation approaching its landmark anniversary."
For anyone in Lubbock looking to pick one up, pricing comes in at $61 for a roll of 25 coins or $154.50 for a bag of 100. That math works out to roughly $2.44 per coin at the roll price, well above face value. Demand hit fast. Within hours of going on sale, the coins were listed as "not currently in stock" on the Mint's website.
Whether folks here see it as a collector's item or a political statement, the sellout speed suggests a lot of Americans saw something worth buying.
The 250th anniversary of the country falls in 2026, so expect this coin to keep showing up at garage sales and kitchen junk drawers for decades.
