Watch: Trump $1 commemorative coin goes on sale

The US Mint began selling gold-coloured $1(£0. 74) coins featuring President Donald Trump's likeness to mark the country's 250th anniversary.

Although US regulations permit only deceased people to appear on currency, the Trump administration has said that the president may appear on a coin under a 2020 law allowing new designs to commemorate the country's 250th anniversary.

The price of the coin, when purchased online, depends on the quantity. A 25-coin roll costs $61(£45), while a 100-coin bag costs $154. 50 (£114).

The BBC's Madeline Gerber visited the US Mint coin store to learn more about this new commemorative coin.

According to the US Mint, the coins are made from 22-karat gold and feature Trump's image in a gold-coloured finish.

The coin store where Madeline Gerber visited reported that the demand for the commemorative coins has been high, with customers lining up around the block to purchase them.

The US Mint has assured that the coins will be available for purchase until they are depleted, although it is unclear when this may be. The agency has also stated that it will continue to produce new designs to commemorate future anniversaries and historical events.

As the country celebrates its 250th anniversary, it is clear that President Trump's likeness will be featured on a special gold-coloured coin. The move has been met with both praise and criticism from some quarters, but overall, it is seen as a positive step towards commemorating this significant milestone in American history.

The price of the coin may vary depending on the quantity purchased, but for now, it seems that the demand is strong enough to support the current prices. The US Mint has assured that it will continue to produce new designs and commemorative coins in the future, ensuring that the country's 250th anniversary is marked with a sense of pride and celebration.
