> The US Mint has begun circulating and selling a $1 coin featuring Donald Trump’s portrait to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary. The release has drawn criticism because it is the first US currency in nearly a century to feature a living person, although the coin remains valid for everyday purchases at face value.
