Consider This from NPR - The Trump gold coin is not normal

The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts has voted to approve the design for a new commemorative gold coin.


On one side, an eagle in flight – on the other, a portrait of President Trump, staring directly at the viewer.

Federal law prohibits living people from being featured on U.S. coins – though the Trump administration believes the Treasury Department has authority here.

Moreover, it breaks a norm that dates to the beginning of the country.

Caroline Turco, a curator at the Money Museum of the American Numismatic Association, explains.
