Yeah.
Late last week, the U.S.
Commission of Fine Arts approved a commemorative coin that will feature...
President Trump standing with his fists on a desk looking very serious.
It will be a gold coin.
The commission members urged that it be made as large as possible.
I don't know if the Mint could handle that.
And this coin is commemorative.
It wouldn't be in circulation.
And it is part of a celebration of America's 250th birthday.
And then there is another coin, which is a $1 coin that would be in circulation.
Okay.
And that coin will also feature the president's face on one side.
And according to the U.S.
treasurer who put out a statement, he says that there is no profile more emblematic for the front of coins that commemorate the 250th birthday than that of our serving president, Donald J. Trump.
Is that legal?
Well, not really.
But who's going to challenge it, I think, is where we are on that.
All coins that are produced by the United States are supposed to go through the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.
And I know that we're getting a little wonky here, but the government is bypassing that committee.
