• US Mint to start making $1 coins with Trump's face on them
• Goes against the law. The Thayer Amendment (1866) prohibited the use of the image of any living person on “the bonds, securities, notes, or postal currency of the United States.” Presidential $1 Coin Act: This 2005 law outlined the circumstances for creating a series of $1 coins honoring American presidents. The law explicitly stated, “No coin issued…may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President.” (source)
• "... there is no gold in the coin but that it has a gold-like finish."
