EXCLUSIVE: The Treasury Department is considering a plan to mint new $1 coins bearing President Donald Trump's image as part of a push to commemorate the 250th anniversary of America's founding, FOX Business has learned.

"Despite the radical left's forced shutdown of our government, the facts are clear: Under the historic leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our nation is entering its 250th anniversary stronger, more prosperous, and better than ever," a Treasury spokesperson told FOX Business.

"While a final $1 dollar coin design has not yet been selected to commemorate the United States' semiquincentennial, this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles. We look forward to sharing more soon," the statement continued.
