The Treasury Department defended its plans to honor President Trump with a $1 coin as the country prepares to commemorate its 250th anniversary, arguing the occasion allows the administration to circumvent a law that only allows individuals to appear posthumously on printed currency.

A Monday post from the Treasury Department said it is authorized to issue the currency under the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, which allows the issuing of coinage “‘with designs emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial’ reflecting @POTUS and his vision for America.”

“On this momentous anniversary, there is no profile more emblematic for the front of this coin than that of our serving President, Donald J. Trump,” the department added.
