Sorry Raised on Rock, this is one collector who will NOT "do their best to get one." Unless you are an error coin collector, it is an abdication of the Founders intentions stated and implied that we do not recognize our Presidents as Soverigns/Kings. Coins and currency with a sitting leader depicted are the things done in Monarchies and Authoritarian states not Democratic Republics.
Secretary Bessent is wrong, Donald John Trump does NOT represent "the strength of American values" nor ". . . A nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all."
It is truly sad that Mr. Bessent has chosen our nation's 250th celebration of our Declaration of Independence from the British Crown to not unite, but further divide our nation.

It's not proposed; they are or will be striking them. It is gold in color but no precious medal content -- clad dollar. According to the message posted by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on X, it will indeed be a " new $1 gold coin." The size of the $1 coin, and the amount of gold in it, has yet to be announced. For reference: The American Eagle 2026 proof gold coin, with a $50 designation, has one ounce of gold and is 1.287 inches in diameter, about the size of a half dollar. The American Eagle 2026 proof gold coin, with a $5 designation, has one tenth ounce of gold and is 0.650 inches in diameter, about the size of a dime. Going by that, the new $1 coin would be extremely small with very little gold . . . or not. |

Whatever happens, I'm ready. I have a stamp, counterstamp, and won't buy them.

Quote:There will eventually be TWO Presidential dollars for circulation, but only after he dies. Just like Grover Cleveland. One for each term. They will probably end up as NIFCs like Kennedy, Carter, etc. There may be, but it won't be automatic. The Presidential dollar series ended with Reagan. George H.W. Bush had a separate law passed to give him a dollar coin, but there hasn't been one for Carter yet. A bill was introduced last year to extend the program indefinitely with new coins within three years of the death of a president, but it hasn't gone anywhere and there isn't really much legislative time left in this Congress.
