The Treasury Department is designing a one-dollar coin featuring Donald Trump under the dubious premise that it honors the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence next year. The draft design from the Office of the U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach shows Trump on both sides. On the back he's shown with a clenched fist in front of an American flag next to the text "Fight, fight, fight."
There are laws in place passed by Congress to restrict the Treasury from putting living people on coins or currency.
The dictator Saddam Hussein put images of himself on Iraqi currency in military dress or a suit in heroic poses.
It's illegal. A living person can not be on us coins or paper currency. Oh and you have to be dead 2 years before you get any consideration.

Because its a commemorative coin, not mean for circulation, so the law apparently doesn't apply. The Mint does not traditionally strike coins for circulation. Commemorative coins are considered numismatic products, and are intended for collection. Commemorative coins are legal tender, and must be ordered directly from the Mint.
... not mean[sic] for circulation ...
Irrelevant under the statute linked at 8. The question under that statute is whether the coin is "currency" i.e. can you take it to a bank and exchange it for dollar bill.
The next question is whether the coins are "(Sec. 3)... emblematic of the U.S. semiquincentennial." www.congress.gov IMO, the Buffoon's mug ain't.

#1: Hi Doc Sarvis: I may buy a couple of those coins if my ever-loving wife gives me some pin money.
What a remarkable twist of fate that America under the Trumpf junta celebrates the 250th anniversary of the US Army and the Nation, and will host 2026 FIFA, as well as the 2028 Olympiad. Look at all the Pomp and Glory, and lucrative contracts, that the GOP, the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF), and the oligarchs will benefit from.
One wonders if Kamala Harris is asking herself today: What could I have said or done better to win on 5 Nov 2024? images.theconversation.com
The worst Director of the FBI also presented illegal #3D printed firearms to the New Zealand government this summer. Kash Prattle flew all the way to New Zealand to open up an FBI LEGATT office there. Ho-hum. But we hardworking American taxpayers are happy to subsidize his vacations and jaunts, like we do for JD Vance and Dummkopf Trumpf, right? apnews.com
