The U.S. Mint announced that a gold $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump's face will go on sale on Wednesday to celebrate America's 250th birthday. [^1]

The coin's design features Trump's visage as "heads" and the Great Seal of the United States as "tails". [^2]

The coins, which can be used as legal tender, stirred some criticism particularly because of federal law that bars the depiction of a living president on U.S. currency. [^3]

The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by President Trump, gave the coin's design the stamp of approval this year. [^4]

Federal law generally bars the depiction of a living president on US currency, but Congress passed the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act to authorize special coins for the 250th anniversary. [^5]

The coins went on sale at noon Wednesday but appeared to be out of stock by the afternoon, with the Mint stating that additional inventory was being made. [^6]

The U.S. Mint stated that a roll of 25 coins will cost $61 and a bag of 100 will cost $154.50. [^7]

250,000 coins were struck on July 4th and feature a special-issue 'July 4th' privy mark, randomly included in the rolls and bags. [^8]
