Trump's $1 gold coins go on sale via US Mint starting Sept. 2 - USA Today
The U.S.
The U.S. Mint will begin selling $1 gold coins bearing President Donald Trump's face on September 2, making him the first living person to appear on American currency in more than a century.
The coins go on sale at noon Eastern time. Buyers can pick up a roll of 25 for $61.00 or a bag of 100 for $154.50. Tucked into those bags and rolls are 250,000 coins pressed on the Fourth of July, carrying a "July 4" privy mark, according to the Treasury Department. The coins feature Trump's official White House portrait.
For collectors here in Lubbock, this is the kind of limited-run item that tends to move fast. The privy-marked coins are spread across the general inventory rather than sold separately, so buyers won't know what they're getting until the order arrives. That uncertainty is part of the appeal.
Common questions
How much do the Trump gold coins cost from the US Mint?
- A roll of 25 coins costs $61.00 and a bag of 100 coins costs $154.50. The coins go on sale September 2 at noon Eastern time through the U.S. Mint. Some coins carry a special July 4 privy mark, but they are mixed into regular inventory, so you won't know if you got one until your order arrives.
What makes the July 4 privy mark coins special?
- The U.S. Treasury says 250,000 coins were pressed on the Fourth of July and carry a 'July 4' privy mark. They are not sold separately - they are randomly distributed across rolls and bags in the general inventory, so buyers have no guarantee of receiving one.
