A gold-finish one-dollar coin featuring the likeness of U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to go on sale on Wednesday. According to the U.S. Mint, the coin has been designed to celebrate America's 250th birthday alongside the president's image.
The currency, which is intended to be used as legal tender, has stirred some criticism upon its release. Observers and critics have pointed out potential conflicts with federal law, which explicitly bars the depiction of a living president on United States currency.
