After a long parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the US Army, President Trump gave remarks in DC.

The Treasury Department is considering a plan to produce a one-dollar coin featuring President Donald Trump’s image to commemorate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding.

The draft design of the coin, which was overseen by the Office of the U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach, features Trump’s profile on one side of the coin. The opposite side of the coin depicts Trump with a clenched fist in front of an American flag alongside the words "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT."

What they're saying:

A spokesperson for the department confirmed the news to FOX Business.

"Despite the radical left's forced shutdown of our government, the facts are clear: Under the historic leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our nation is entering its 250th anniversary stronger, more prosperous, and better than ever," a Treasury spokesperson told FOX Business.

"While a final $1 dollar coin design has not yet been selected to commemorate the United States' semiquincentennial, this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles. We look forward to sharing more soon," the statement continued.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday told reporters she wasn’t sure whether Trump was aware of his likeness on a coin.

"I’m not sure if he’s seen it, but I’m sure he’ll love it," she said.

Treasury Department has authority to mint $1 coins

The backstory:

In 2020, Congress passed bipartisan legislation, signed by Trump during his first term, that authorizes the Treasury Secretary to issue one-dollar coins during the 2026 calendar year. The design of those coins must be "emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial."
