The US Treasury Department is evaluating a $1 coin design to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary, featuring former President Donald Trump with a raised fist and the phrase 'fight, fight, fight.' The design references Trump's response after surviving an assassination attempt during a Pennsylvania rally in July 2024, where he was grazed on the right ear.
US Treasurer Brandon Beach shared a draft of the coin on social media, stating, 'No fake news here. These drafts honoring America's 250th birthday and [Trump] are real.' A Treasury spokesperson clarified that the design is not final but 'reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles.'
The coin's obverse features Trump's profile alongside 'Liberty,' 'In God We Trust,' and '1776-2026.' The reverse depicts Trump raising his fist after the assassination attempt, with an American flag in the background.
In 2020, Trump signed bipartisan legislation authorizing the Treasury Secretary to issue $1 coins during 2026 that are 'emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial.'
Recent polls indicate that 53% of US adults believe Trump's policies have worsened the national economy, while 24% think he has improved it.
