Donald Trump unveils portrait $1 coin and fast‑track API service

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Benkert announced that the Mint will produce a commemorative one‑dollar coin bearing former President Donald Trump’s portrait, citing a 2020 redesign law that permits such “collector” pieces despite a longstanding rule barring living persons from circulating currency. The coin’s design and legal status have sparked debate over the propriety of placing a sitting president’s image on U.S. money.

Separately, Trump Media & Technology Group revealed a new paid service, the “Truth API,” that will deliver posts from its platform Truth Social up to 0.001 seconds faster than the public feed. Launched for business and financial‑industry clients on the first of next month, the API aims to give investors and corporations a timelier edge on market‑moving information from Trump’s account, which has millions of followers.
