The US Mint put the 2026 Semiquincentennial President Donald J. Trump $1 coin on sale through its online catalogue on 2 September 2026.
Rolls and bags sold out within hours, with buyers held in virtual queues and online purchases capped at two per buyer.
The coin marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, carried on the obverse as the dates 1776-2026.
The Mint struck 250,000 coins on 4 July carrying a special 'July 4th' privy mark, seeded randomly into rolls, bags and circulation.
Depicting a living US President on American money is exceptionally rare; the 1926 Calvin Coolidge half dollar is the standing precedent.
A small extra symbol added to a coin's design to record something specific - a mint, an anniversary or a limited striking - without altering the main design or the coin's face value.
Simple Analogy: A discreet stamp in the corner of an otherwise identical print.
