The 2020 law for minting of 250th birthday coins allows only for quarter and half dollars.

If I am following this---the newer 2020 law says only quarters and half dollars can be minted for US 250th birthday--BUT to get around this law, it looks like Trump's Treasurer will have a dollar minted???


U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach @TreasurerBeach
No fake news here. These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and @POTUS
are real.

Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.

ATTENTION ALL PATRIOTS: America is back, and so is the one-dollar coin.

@POTUS @realDonaldTrump will forever be the face of America’s 250th Birthday, thanks to @SecScottBessent and @TreasurerBeach.

The 2020 law for minting of 250th birthday coins allows only for quarter and half dollars.

And reiterates: "No head and shoulders portrait or bust of any person, living or dead, and no portrait of a living person may be included in the design on the reverse of specified coins."

Only deceased persons may appear on US currency.

By the time the semiquincentennial rolls around, I trust that the piece of shit will be in compliance.
