The United States Department of the Treasury has taken a big step forward in a plan to etch President Donald Trump's portrait on a 24 karat gold commemorative coin.
SCOOP-- Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators." After NYT reported the criticism, US Mint yanked online vid of the meeting w/o explanation.
