AP – The US$1 coin designed to celebrate America's 250th birthday – and seemingly President Donald Trump, whose face gazes from one side of the gold finish – went on sale on Wednesday, according to the United States Mint.
The coin's design – Trump's visage as "heads" and the Great Seal of the United States as "tails" – received the stamp of approval this year from the US Commission of Fine Arts, whose members Trump appointed.
In past comments, the president said that the idea to stamp his face on a coin was "very unusual" but that he was "honored by it".
