The coins, if they are produced, would be the latest push by Trump and his allies to feature his name and likeness on items of national significance.
Two similar, but very different, coins that may feature the likeness of President Donald Trump are getting closer to reality amid swirling controversy.
One would be a huge, gold collector's item. The other would be a controversial and temporary addition to circulating currency, meant to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday.
A U.S. Treasury Department advisory board on March 19 announced the design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin for the nation's 250th anniversary (semiquincentennial). It features a portrait of Trump, a move that opponents say bucks tradition.
A separate $1 coin with Trump's face on it could go into circulation, also as part of the semiquincentennial.
The coins, if they are produced, would be the latest push by Trump and his allies to feature his name and likeness on items and buildings of significance, from national park passes and banners to the renamed Trump-Kennedy Center for the Arts.
