U.S. Mint starts selling gold-colored coins with Trump's face

On Wednesday, the U.S. Mint began selling $1 gold-colored coins marked with the face of President Donald Trump. The coins cost $1.55 to $2.44 each.

It’s the first time U.S. currency features a living person since the mid-1800s.

The coin's design — Trump's visage as "heads" and the Great Seal of the United States as "tails" — was given the stamp of approval this year by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members Trump appointed.

Trump is the first sitting president in a century to appear on a U.S. coin, reviving questions about whether the practice is legal.

The coins, which can be used as legal tender, stirred some criticism, particularly because of federal law that bars the depiction of a living president on US currency.
