US Mint to begin striking dollar coin featuring Trump

While living presidents are barred from appearing on U.S. currency, the Trump administration has argued that the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, pushed by President Trump, permits the design because it authorizes the Treasury secretary to oversee the minting of ‘special’ coins for the nation's Semiquincentennial. 

Federal law stipulates that coin designs be selected by the Treasury secretary after consultation with an 11-person body established by Congress in 2003 to advise on designs of hard currency.

But the Treasury Department appears to have skipped the latter committee, raising questions about the legality of the coin's production.

"The concept that the secretary of the Treasury can create his own coin -- it's illegal," Scarinci said of the move, adding that Congress would have the authority to confiscate and demonetize the coins and that concern about the coin crosses partisan boundaries on the committee.

"This is not a Democrat-Republican issue as far as the coin is concerned, it is simply illegal, but the Trump administration doesn’t seem to care,” he said.
