Panel to Decide on Trump Gold Coin

“A federal arts commission will weigh whether to approve a commemorative gold coin featuring Donald Trump on Thursday, the administration’s latest effort to celebrate the president, even as Democrats and members of another federal committee say the idea is deeply inappropriate and potentially illegal,” the Washington Post reports.

“The proposal calls for a 24-karat gold coin depicting Trump leaning on a desk with clenched fists, based on a photograph taken by his chief White House photographer and now displayed in the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. Such gold coins from the U.S. Mint typically sell for several thousand dollars.”
