The U.S. Mint on Wednesday started selling $1 coins that feature President Donald Trump's face.
"Available for purchase today at 12PM ET: 2026 President Donald J. Trump $1 Coin. These coins are also in circulation, so check your pocket change. Collect them today!" the U.S. Mint declared in a Wednesday morning post on X.
But the Trump-emblazoned coins cost a pretty penny — they are priced significantly higher than their $1 face value.

The front of the coin features the word "LIBERTY" over Trump's likeness, and the years "1776 ~ 2026" below the president's visage. The words "IN GOD WE TRUST" appear next to Trump's head on the coin.
"Celebrate a historic American milestone, the official United States Mint-issued Semiquincentennial $1 Coin was struck to honor 250 years of great American heritage," the page where the coins will be available for purchase states.
