The United States Mint began selling a commemorative one-dollar coin featuring President Donald Trump on Wednesday to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. [^1]

A roll of 25 commemorative coins costs 61 dollars, representing a premium of 36 dollars over the nominal value of 25 dollars. [^2]

The commemorative coin sold out partially within hours of its release, with the US Mint website indicating that the roll of 25 coins was unavailable and a virtual waiting room was established. [^3]

The Treasury Department defended the legality of the portrait, citing a 2020 law and the precedent of Calvin Coolidge appearing on a coin in 1926. [^4]

A roll containing 25 coins is available for 61 dollars, and a bag containing 100 pieces is priced at 154.50 dollars. [^5]

The coins were created as part of the commemorative emissions for the 250th anniversary of the United States. [^6]

The release has been harshly criticized because it is the first time a living person is placed on a circulating coin, which was previously avoided to prevent it from being considered personal propaganda. [^7]
