Trump $1 coin makes him first living president on US currency in a century

{"

Trump's Portrait on Currency":"The US Mint has launched a commemorative $1 coin with a portrait of President Trump, marking the first time a living president has appeared on US currency in a century. The coin, priced at $61 for a roll of 25 and $154.50 for a bag of 100, was released to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. The coin features Trump's portrait alongside the words 'In God we trust'. The US Mint stated that the coin is 'not currently in stock' on their website.","

Historical Context":"This is the first time a living president has appeared on US currency since the half-dollar issued to commemorate America's 150th anniversary in 1926, featuring then-President Calvin Coolidge. The Trump administration has cited the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, which prohibits portraits of living people on the reverse (tails side) of coins, but not on the obverse (heads side), where Trump's likeness appears.","

Legal and Political Background":"Federal law bars the printing of US money with the image of a living person. Trump allies in Congress have introduced legislation to make an exception, although the proposal is currently stalled. The Thayer Amendment of 1866 bans the portrait of any living person on US notes, although this traditionally does not apply to coins. The Trump administration has also cited the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, from Trump's first term, which prohibits portraits of living people on the reverse (tails side) of coins."}
