US Treasurer Brandon Beach confirmed the authenticity of a planned silver dollar marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence — depicting President Trump on both sides of the coin.
“No fake news here. These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and @POTUS (https://x.com/POTUS) are real,” Beach tweeted (https://x.com/TreasurerBeach/status/1974156375891804229?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5 Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1974156375891804229%7Ctwgr% 5Eee8a11d915cdead74e2ed76d710bf7dab34e71ef%7Ctwcon %5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonexaminer.com%2 Fnews%2Fwhite-house%2F3836354%2Ftrump-coin-drafted-for-america-250th-celebration%2F) Friday afternoon.
One side of the mock-up shows Trump’s face above the words “In God We Trust” and the date 1776-2026. The reverse shows Trump’s iconic fist-pump after surviving an assassination attempt (https://nypost.com/2025/07/10/us-news/trump-reflects-on-butler-assassination-attempt-one-year-later-secret-service-had-a-bad-day/) last year, and the words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.”It’s extremely uncommon for US currency to feature a living person and it was not immediately clear how many of the coins are likely to be made.

After surviving an assassination attempt, it's the right thing to do.
