It’s illegal for Trump to be on a coin. U.S. law generally prohibits the depiction of living individuals on currency. This rule is rooted in a long-standing tradition to avoid the appearance of a monarchy. The law states that only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency and coins. Specific Legislation - 31 U.S. Code § 5112: This law specifies that "no coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President." Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020: This act allows for the minting of commemorative coins but reiterates that no portrait of a living person may be included in the design.
