According to China News Service, US Treasury Secretary Besson announced on the 15th that the US Mint will mint a $1 coin with President Trump's portrait on the front to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The obverse of the coin is printed with "Freedom", "We Believe in God", and "1776-2026", while the reverse features a bald eagle pattern. Trump expressed his "honor". Critics question the legality of the coin, pointing out that a law passed by the US Congress in 2020 authorizes the minting of commemorative coins, but prohibits the printing of portraits of living people on the coin.
