TechFlow news, October 31 — According to Theblock, the U.S. Treasury's plan to issue a $1 Trump presidential commemorative coin has drawn strong criticism from lawmakers. The coin, intended to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, features Trump's portrait on the front and an image of him raising a fist in front of the American flag on the back, along with the words "Fight, Fight, Fight."
Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen questioned the move during Thursday's Senate Banking Committee nomination hearing, stating that placing a president's likeness on official coins is illegal, and expressed further outrage over the design's connection to the TRUMP meme coin from which Trump profits. "Fight, Fight, Fight" is the name of the company behind the TRUMP meme coin, which Trump launched just days before his second inauguration earlier this year.
Paul Hollis, nominee for director of the U.S. Mint, said when asked about the matter that he would be "100% committed to always following the law."
