And I’m sure the Red Hat Club will line up to get them, frame them, and hang them in their bedrooms right above their bedposts
What if they do, Anchovies?

And I'm the one that jaded you.
No one besides you MAGA moobs cares about another vanity project of Trump. Let us know when someone who's important and not just self-important does stuff.
FAQ:
"Are these real"?
Yes. These are official U.S. Mint $1 coins and they are legal tender.
The Mint is selling them today (September 2, 2026) as “Semiquincentennial President Donald J. Trump 2026 $1 Coin” rolls and bags. Official product page: 25-coin roll $61, 100-coin bag $154.50.
They have a circulating finish, were struck at Philadelphia, carry no mint mark, and the Mint’s own language is that they “have never been placed into circulation. However, they may be still used as legal tender.”
Face value is $1. They are copper-manganese-nickel-zinc with a gold-colored finish; there is no gold in them.
A limited run of 250,000 pieces struck on July 4 carries a special privy mark and is mixed randomly into the rolls and bags.
"Is this legal"?
Legal-tender status
"Why are they so expensive to buy"?
They are collector products sold at a premium, not a new circulating dollar being pumped into banks and vending machines in huge numbers.
They’re $1 legal tender, but the Mint is not selling them as ordinary circulating coinage. It’s selling them as a numismatic product.
The Mint routinely does this with uncirculated rolls and bags of $1 coins (Presidential dollars, Native American dollars, American Innovation dollars, etc.). You pay more than face because you are buying:
That’s why a 25-coin roll is $61 (~$2.44 each) and a 100-coin bag is $154.50 (~$1.55 each). The per-coin premium drops on the larger bag, which is typical.
If these were released the usual way—struck, sent to the Fed, and paid out to banks at face value—you would get them for $1. They weren’t.
The Mint’s own product page says they have a circulating finish but “have never been placed into circulation.” You can spend one for $1; most buyers are paying the extra for the collectible.
This is the same model the Mint has used for years on special $1 products. The face value is the legal-tender value, not the retail price of the packaged collector item.

"Is this legal"?
Legal-tender status
- Under 31 U.S.C. § 5103, U.S. coins are legal tender for all debts.
- The long-standing tradition (and 31 U.S.C. § 5114) against living persons on currency has historically been applied most clearly to paper notes. The 2020 Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act that authorized the 2026 $1 coins only banned a living-person portrait on the reverse. Trump’s portrait is on the obverse; the reverse is the Presidential Seal with “250.” Treasury and Mint lawyers signed off on the design.

The Mint routinely does this with uncirculated rolls and bags of $1 coins (Presidential dollars, Native American dollars, American Innovation dollars, etc.). You pay more than face because you are buying:
- Coins that never went through the Federal Reserve for general circulation
- Official packaging (rolls or bags)
- A limited special-issue design (250th anniversary + sitting president portrait + some July 4 privy-marked pieces mixed in)
- The Mint’s production, handling, and distribution costs plus a collector markup

This was for the Semiquincentennial. Coolidge did the same thing in 1926 for the Sesquicentennial. Commerative milestones.
I fully expect they will, if Trump said he shit pure gold they’d want to buy that also
Egotistical bullshit
And the gold color is just a real as tRump's complexion.
