The Trump coin aims to commemorate America's 250 years of independence.

President Donald Trump is to appear on a new $1 gold coin.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed on July 17 that the commemorative coin would feature a portrait of the American leader.
He posted: "As America commemorates 250 years of independence, the US Mint will begin striking this new $1 gold coin to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism.
"Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all."
Social media response has been mixed.
Saage Martin posted on X: "I love Trump but featuring his face on a coin while he is still in office and alive is not the right thing to do. He is not the owner of the USA 🇺🇸 or the emperor himself."
KW commented: "Very cool indeed. How can you buy them? Local bank and when? I surely will buy some for my grandkids."
The release date and cost of the coin have not been announced.
