The U.S. Mint has launched its 2026 President Donald J. Trump $1 coin, offering collector rolls and bags from $61 while adding an unusual chase for buyers: 250,000 coins struck on July 4 carry a special privy mark and were randomly mixed into the products.
Sales opened September 2 at noon EDT. The release is part of the United States’ 250th-anniversary coin program and combines a new presidential portrait with a limited July 4 version collectors cannot order separately.
Trump $1 coin price and how to buy
A 25-coin roll costs $61 and contains $25 in face value. The U.S. Mint set a product limit of 150,000 rolls.
A 100-coin bag costs $154.50, containing $100 in face value, with a product limit of 50,000 bags. Both products contain coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint.
The Mint lists no overall mintage limit for the standard Trump dollar. Buyers can check current availability and ordering information on the official U.S. Mint Trump $1 coin page. Initial household limits apply to purchases.
Why 250,000 July 4 Trump coins are different
The biggest collector feature is the “July 4th” privy mark.
The Mint struck 250,000 Trump $1 coins on July 4, 2026, at its Philadelphia facility. Those coins received the special mark commemorating America’s 250th anniversary.
Rather than selling them separately, the Mint randomly mixed the July 4 coins into its rolls and bags. Buyers therefore cannot choose the special version, and purchasing a roll or bag does not guarantee finding one.
The strategy adds another collector hunt to the Semiquincentennial program. Coin enthusiasts have also been watching how to identify the special July 4th U.S. quarters released for the anniversary.
What does the Trump $1 coin look like?
The obverse features a forward-facing portrait of President Trump with “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST” and the dual date “1776 ~ 2026.”
U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna designed the portrait, drawing inspiration from an official White House photograph by Daniel Torok.
The reverse features the Presidential Seal, including an eagle holding an olive branch and arrows. Its shield displays “250”, while “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “ONE DOLLAR” also appear.
Is the Trump $1 coin made of gold?
No. Despite its golden appearance, the coin contains no gold. Its composition is 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese and 2% nickel.
Each coin weighs 8.10 grams, measures 26.49 mm in diameter and is 2 mm thick. It has a plain edge and no mint mark despite being struck in Philadelphia.
Is the Trump $1 coin legal tender?
Yes. The coin has a $1 face value and can be used as legal tender.
The Mint describes coins sold in its rolls and bags as having a circulating finish, but that does not mean those packaged coins have already passed through everyday commerce. The Mint says they have not previously been placed into circulation.

Why is Trump appearing on a $1 coin?
The release marks the United States Semiquincentennial — 250 years from 1776 to 2026. The Mint cites 31 U.S.C. §5112(y)(1)(C) and the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 as authority for the special 2026 $1 design.
It is part of a wider anniversary coin program rather than simply another issue from the older Presidential $1 Coin Program. The 2026 program includes anniversary treatments across several U.S. denominations.

How much could the July 4 Trump coin be worth?
The 250,000-coin production figure does not guarantee a particular value. Secondary-market prices will depend on collector demand, condition, professional grading and completed sales.
Buyers should be particularly cautious about treating high online listing prices as established values. An asking price is not the same as a completed sale.
For collectors, the immediate attraction is easier to establish: only 250,000 Trump dollars received the July 4th privy mark, and those coins were randomly distributed among Mint rolls and bags, turning each order into a chance to find the special anniversary version.
