Designs for new US $1 coin with Donald Trump’s face revealed as Dems push to block it
Following public reaction, the Treasury abandoned that design and submitted three new versions to the Commission of Fine Arts.
The revised designs present more traditional imagery, featuring close-up portraits of Trump with the phrases “In God We Trust” and “Liberty,” while the reverse side displays variations of the bald eagle. The coin also highlights the nation’s semiquincentennial celebration.
Since the proposal emerged, Democratic lawmakers have pushed back. Senators Jeff Merkley and Catherine Cortez Masto introduced legislation to block the coin, arguing it misuses public funds and breaks with American tradition.
