Federal law generally prohibits depicting living persons on US currency, though exceptions exist for commemorative coins. The Trump administration cites the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 as legal basis for the new $1 coin, which places the president's portrait on the obverse side.
Donald Trump's portrait has made its way on to a US coin - the first time a living president has appeared on American currency in a century.
The US Mint launched the commemorative $1 coin with a portrait of Trump alongside the words "In God we trust", to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.
The special-edition money captures "the spirit, pride, and legacy of a nation approaching its landmark anniversary", the US Mint said.
The coins - priced at $61 (£45) for a roll of 25 and a bag of 100 for $154.50 - were "not currently in stock" on the US Mint's website within hours of going on sale. The BBC contacted the US Mint, the Treasury and the White House for details.
The coin has been "created to celebrate this historic national milestone" with a "once-in-a-generation anniversary design destined to become a standout addition to modern collections", the US Mint said.
Back in May, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also said his department was planning to issue a new $250 bill bearing a portrait of the president.
Federal law bars the printing of US money with the image of a living person. Trump allies in Congress have introduced legislation that would make an exception, although the proposal is currently stalled.
At the time, Bessent highlighted that another living US president has previously appeared on the country's currency.
A half-dollar that was issued to commemorate America's 150th anniversary in 1926 featured then-President Calvin Coolidge.
The Trump administration has also cited the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, from Trump's first term.
While this statute prohibits portraits of living people on the reverse (tails side) of coins, it does not explicitly cover the obverse (heads side), where Trump's likeness appears on the new $1 coins.
The Thayer Amendment of 1866 bans the portrait of any living person on US notes, although this traditionally does not apply to coins.
