Trump coins already out of stock at US Mint

One dollar gold-colored coins featuring President Trump’s image sold out hours after they were released on Wednesday afternoon, according to the U.S. Mint’s website.

The currency, which the Trump administration advertised as an opportunity to “own a piece of American History,” went up for purchase at noon.

A 25-coin roll, priced at $61, is “currently on backorder” while the 100-coin bag, priced at $154, is marked as “currently unavailable” on the U.S. Mint’s order page .

The product limit for the coin roll was 150,000, while the bag was limited to 50,000 units. Additionally, a household order limit of two per bag or coin roll is in effect until Thursday afternoon.

The Hill has reached out to the Treasury Department about when these products will be restocked.

The coin’s obverse features an image of Trump and is inscribed with the words “Liberty,” “In God We Trust” and “1776 ~ 2026.” The reverse side of each coin depicts the presidential seal and an inscription of “250” to mark America’s semiquincentennial anniversary this year.

Additionally, several coins randomly included in rolls and bags include a “July 4” privy mark, which indicates that the currency was struck on Independence Day.

Each coin was minted at the Philadelphia Mint and “captures the spirit, pride, and legacy of a nation approaching its landmark anniversary,” according to the U.S. Mint.

The commemorative coin has a face value of $1 and can be used as legal tender.

The coin has raised legal questions about whether a sitting president can appear on U.S. currency. The Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 only allows commemorative coins featuring deceased presidents, while the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 (CCCRA) restricts the likeness of living people on a coin’s “tails” side.

The Treasury Department argued the currency is in fact legal because the CCCRA permits “designs emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial.”

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the coin a “lasting symbol of patriotism” in a statement shared on social media in July.

“Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all,” he wrote.
