Most notably, the coin isn\u2019t solid gold; it carries a gold finish. It\u2019s set for release this fall.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=3502\">Pete Hegseth wants to test troops for \u2018testosterone deficiency\u2019 \u2014\u00a0literally<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs America commemorates 250 years of independence, the U.S. Mint will begin striking this new $1 gold coin to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism,\u201d Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on X. \u201cFeaturing President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The coin\u2019s front shows Trump in a suit and tie. \u201cLIBERTY\u201d arcs across the top, \u201c1776\u20132026\u201d across the bottom, and \u201cIN GOD WE TRUST\u201d sits in the center. In a previous  for the 250th commemorative coin Trump was seen fists down while standing over the Resolute Desk.<\/p>\n<p>The coin lands alongside a related, more contested move: putting Trump\u2019s own signature on paper currency. Treasury announced in March that new bills would carry Trump\u2019s signature alongside Bessent\u2019s, replacing the treasurer\u2019s signature that has appeared on U.S. currency for roughly 165 years. The first $100 notes carrying Trump\u2019s signature began rolling out around the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n<p>Federal law bars a living person\u2019s portrait from appearing on U.S. currency. Treasury has argued that the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, which was signed during Trump\u2019s first term, gives the administration room to make exceptions for the semiquincentennial.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=3500\">This marine biologist warned that coral loss could collapse the oceans.

The case turns partly on Title 31 of the U.S. Code, which spells out what the Treasury secretary can and can\u2019t do with coin design: the secretary has latitude over imagery, but is required to include \u201cIn God We Trust\u201d and \u201cLiberty\u201d on the front, and \u201cUnited States of America,\u201d \u201cE Pluribus Unum\u201d and the denomination on the back.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time a new coin design has earned the attention of the public, especially for a normally quiet government operation such as the U.S. Mint.

Jimmy Gomez introduced legislation that would bar a sitting president\u2019s signature from appearing on currency or securities, though it would need to pass both chambers and be signed into law to actually stop the change. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Jeff Merkley separately pressed Bessent in an April letter over the rationale for the signature change.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Public opinion has leaned skeptical.
