Trump gets his own money as US mints $1 coins bearing president’s face

The U.S. Mint has sparked controversy by issuing gold coins featuring Donald Trump's face, allowing the former president to profit directly from this unique venture. These coins, which are part of a broader trend of monetizing presidential legacies, raise questions about the appropriateness of commercializing national currency. While supporters see it as a way to honor Trump's tenure, critics argue it undermines the traditional, nonpartisan nature of U.S. currency, highlighting a divisive aspect of his post-presidential activities.
