The US Mint began selling gold-coloured $1(ยฃ0.74) coins featuring President Donald Trump's likeness. 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(ยฃ45), while a 100-coin bag costs $154.50 (ยฃ114).

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