The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts unanimously approved a commemorative gold coin featuring Donald Trump's portrait on Thursday, sidestepping federal law that prohibits depicting living presidents on currency by classifying it as a non-circulating commemorative item. The Trump administration is also pursuing a separate $1 coin bearing the president's image, drawing criticism from lawmakers and federal advisory panels who argue such efforts are inappropriate for democratic leaders.
