24K Gold Trump Coin: US Mint Design Approved
The U.S. Treasury Department is developing a 24K gold coin featuring a portrait of President Trump at the National Portrait Gallery.
The U.S. Treasury announced Thursday that all future U.S. banknotes will bear President Donald Trump’s signature, making him the first sitting president to do so.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are on a path to unprecedented economic growth, sustained dollar dominance, and fiscal health and stability,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.
He suggested that there is “no more powerful way to recognize Trump’s performance than with a U.S. dollar bill with Trump’s name on it.”
The March 26 announcement follows the Treasury Department’s recent declaration that future 24-karat gold commemorative coins will feature the president’s likeness, as well as move forward with plans to issue a $1 Trump coin approved by the National Board of Fine Arts.
Neither has received approval from the Citizens Coin Advisory Committee, a bipartisan group created by Congress to advise the Treasury Department on coin design.
Finance Secretary Brandon Beach said the decision to include Trump’s signature on future banknotes was “not only appropriate, it makes sense.”
“As 250th “As we approach the anniversary of our great nation’s founding, under President Trump’s leadership, America’s currency will continue to be a symbol of the prosperity, strength, and steadfast spirit of the American people,” Beach said.
