Is It Legal for Donald Trump to Appear on a U.S. Mint Dollar Coin?
Questions have arisen regarding the legality of former President Donald Trump appearing on a U.S. Mint dollar coin. Under U.S. law, the Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination with the U.S. Mint, has the authority to approve who appears on official currency.
Traditionally, coins have featured historical figures, past presidents, and symbolic national icons. U.S. law generally prohibits the depiction of living persons on circulating coins, though commemorative coins can sometimes feature living individuals with special congressional approval.
Legal experts note that for Trump to appear on a dollar coin, either Congress would need to authorize a commemorative coin, or the coin would have to be a privately issued collectible rather than legal tender for everyday transactions.
This means while images of living figures are rare on official U.S. currency, there are mechanisms under which such a coin could be legally produced — most likely as a commemorative or collectible coin rather than standard circulation currency.
💡 Key Takeaway
Trump appearing on a U.S. Mint dollar coin for general circulation would not be standard practice under current U.S. law, but commemorative coins remain a legal possibility with congressional approval.

Iran Denounces Sanctions as “Unjust” and “Illegal”
The Iranian government has strongly condemned recent sanctions imposed against it, labeling them both “unjust” and “illegal.”
In an official statement, Tehran urged the international community not to comply with or implement the restrictions, stressing that such measures are politically motivated and harmful to global cooperation.
Iran argues that sanctions unfairly target its economy and people, while doing little to promote peace or stability in the region. Officials further called on nations to uphold principles of fairness and international law, warning that continued enforcement could deepen divisions and undermine diplomacy.
The latest response reflects Iran’s ongoing defiance in the face of Western pressure, as tensions remain high over issues ranging from nuclear policy to regional security.
It’s About Time’: Trump Confirms He Will Join Gathering of U.S. Military Leaders
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he will participate in an upcoming gathering of U.S. military leaders, describing the decision as “about time.”
The move is being closely watched by political observers, as Trump continues to position himself at the center of debates over national security, defense spending, and military leadership. His attendance could also signal efforts to strengthen ties with military circles amid growing speculation about his future political ambitions.
Supporters say his presence underscores a commitment to honoring and engaging with America’s armed forces, while critics argue it may be part of a broader strategy to bolster his influence in defense and political spheres.
As anticipation builds, the gathering is expected to draw attention to the intersection of U.S. politics and military affairs, a space where Trump remains a polarizing but influential figure.
Trump Vows He Will Prevent Israel from Annexing the West Bank
Today, U.S. President Donald Trump stated unequivocally that he will not permit Israel to annex the occupied West Bank. Speaking from the Oval Office, he said to reporters: “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen.”
Trump’s comments come amid rising calls from far-right elements in Israel’s government to formalize annexation of parts of the territory. Several Arab countries and international actors have publicly warned that annexation would undermine hopes for a two-state solution and provoke serious diplomatic consequences.
He also noted that he has discussed the matter directly with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, insisting that annexation plans must stop. “There’s been enough. It’s time to stop now,” Trump added.
Analysts suggest this marks one of the clearest limitations yet on Israeli policy from the Trump administration, especially given Trump’s historically strong alignment with Israeli leadership. The declaration may impact internal Israeli coalition dynamics, international diplomacy, and the peace process debates around Palestinian statehood.
