US Treasurer Brandon Beach has just confirmed that the news about a planned silver dollar featuring President Trump on both sides is authentic and will soon be released to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary next year.
‘No fake news here. These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and POTUS are real,’- Beach shared on a post through social media on Friday.
He further added that he’s looking to share more news on this front soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the US government comes to an end.
‘One side of the mock-up shows Trump’s face above the words: ‘In God we Trust’ and this dates 1776-2026. ‘I am not too sure if he’s seen it yet, but I am sure he will love it!’- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared with reporters when asked about the coin design.
Federal law appears to bar living presidents from appearing on the currency, another post read.
For the dormant presidential gold-dollar coin series, Congress has barred the production of any coins featuring the picture of a living former or current president, or of any deceased former President during the 2 year period after the date of the death of that president.
Therefore, this would certainly be interesting.
