President Donald Trump’s likeness has appeared on a newly released $1 coin, drawing attention because living presidents have traditionally not appeared on circulating US currency.
The limited-edition coin has quickly become a collector’s item, with the US Mint offering a roll of 25 coins for $61 and a bag of 100 coins for $154.50.
The release has sparked debate over how the commemorative issue fits alongside long-standing traditions surrounding presidential portraits on US currency.
The coin’s launch comes amid continued public interest in Trump-related memorabilia, with collectors driving demand for the special edition release.
