0:53Now PlayingThe U.S. Treasury announced Wednesday that it will begin rolling out a new $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump's likeness.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the coin is part of commemorations marking 250 years of American independence.
Despite its gold-like finish, the Treasury says the coin contains no actual gold.
Federal law prohibits the U.S. Mint from putting the likeness of a living person on currency, but Bessent says the new coins are permitted because they are commemorative. The coin is expected to enter circulation this fall.
