Golden Trump Coin Approved By Hand-Picked Panel Despite Legal, Ethical Concerns
A federal panel hand-picked by President Donald Trump has approved a gold coin depicting him, despite critics pointing out that the move may be illegal. The Commission of Fine Arts voted to back the 24-karat commemorative coin on Thursday, March 19. The coins would show a scowling Trump leaning on a desk with clenched fists, based on a portrait displayed at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. US Mint officials told the panel that Trump personally approved the design for the coins, which typically sell for several thousand dollars. "As we approach our 250th birthday, we are thrilled to prepare coins that represent the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, and there is no profile more emblematic for the front of such coins than that of our serving President, Donald J. Trump," said US Treasurer Brandon Beach. The Trump-appointed commission members discussed details like size before approving the proposal, The Washington Post reported. "I think the larger the better, and the largest of that circulation, I think, would be his preference," said Chamberlain Harris, Trump's executive assistant, who managed his portrait project. James McCrery II, a former architect of Trump's controversial White House ballroom, pushed for an even bigger coin. "As large as possible, all the way to three inches in diameter," he said while leading the vote. President Donald Trump during an event in Corpus Christi, TX, on February 27, 2026. Wikimedia Commons - The White House The bipartisan Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee declined to consider the coin in February. The panel is also supposed to approve the design, but it's unclear whether the Trump administration will try to bypass that committee. Members from both parties opposed putting a sitting president on US currency. "It's wrong," said Michael Moran, a Republican coin collector recommended by then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. "It goes against American culture and the traditions that drive what we put on our coinage. I didn't sign up for this." "They can definitely make the coin without our review, but it would be an illegal coin," said Donald Scarinci, a Democrat recommended by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "It's not about Donald Trump. It's about whoever the President is. It's not something done in a democracy." Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a longtime coin hobbyist and former committee member, said that well-designed coins should be educational and inspirational. "I'm not enthusiastic about memorializing Mr. Trump on a coin because he has done so much damage to our country," Abdul-Jabbar said. "It takes a huge consensus to get agreement on something like this, and I'm not inclined to be supportive of the President's request." In October 2025, the Treasury Department revealed draft designs of a Trump $1 coin to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday. Early drawings showed Trump's side profile on one side of the coin, while the reverse side depicts a scene from the assassination attempt he faced in western Pennsylvania in July 2024. Federal law bans living people from being featured on US currency. In 1866, Congress passed the Thayer amendment to restrict currency depictions to deceased people. Democratic senators have backed legislation to prevent any living or sitting President from being featured on US currency. "Monarchs and dictators put their faces on coins, not leaders of a democracy," said Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon. In 1926, Calvin Coolidge was the only sitting President to appear on a US coin, but the release sparked backlash, and the coins were later melted.
