"Federal law says no living president can appear on U.S. currency. But Megan Sullivan, the acting chief of the Office of Design Management at the Mint, said the Treasury secretary has authority to authorize the minting and issuance of new 24-karat gold coins."
The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts approved a design for a 24-karat gold coin featuring President Trump to commemorate America's 250th birthday. The decision allows the U.S. Mint to begin production, although the coin's size and denomination are still being discussed. U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach expressed excitement about the coin representing the spirit of the country. This move is seen as part of a trend where Trump and his allies bypass traditional practices and laws regarding presidential likenesses on currency.
