Hello, Danger Corps! Itās Friday, September 4, 2026, and apparently Americaās newest financial product isā¦ Donald Trumpās face on pocket change.
The U.S. Mint is now selling an official $1 coin featuring Trump, and hereās where it gets wonderfully stupid: the āgold coloredā coin contains no gold at all. The Mint says it weighs 8.1 grams and consists of 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, and 2% nickel, so āgold coloredā is doing some Olympic level work in the marketing department. Itās mostly copper and is legally worth exactly one dollar. But a 25 coin roll costs $61, $2.44 per dollar, while a 100 coin bag costs $154.50. Classic mark-up alongside the president who loves to put his mark on everything š¤£
Meanwhile, Trumpās administration is escalating its economic and military pressure campaign against Iran, and another federal judge has temporarily blocked his latest attempt to restrict birthright citizenship. But back to the Presidential Chuck E. Cheese token.š
The coin itself doesnāt appear to put the markup into Trumpās pocket. The bigger ethics question is the pattern: a sitting president surrounded by government products bearing his name and face while his family simultaneously operates enormous private financial ventures. Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in crypto-related income for 2025, including roughly $515 million from World Liberty Financial token sales, World Liberty Financial has since received approval for its own federally chartered bank, generating new conflict of interest legislation in Congress. And his kids are of course doing just fine: estimates suggest Eric, Don Jr. and Barron may have received around $80 million a piece from World Liberty token sales alone, with additional crypto holdings potentially worth far more.
So Dadās administration is selling supporters a $1 Trump coin for $2.44 while the Trump family is making hundreds of millions selling a completely different kind of coin. One is mostly copper, the other one apparently turns proximity to the presidency into money.
So no, the Trump coin isnāt crypto. Itās just remarkably on-brand for a president encouraging you to start wondering where the Oval Office keeps itās merch table.
While we wait to see how the coin rollout works out, we thought you could use a laugh!! š
