Explained in plain English
Why a $1 coin?
The US has a long history of $1 coins, though they've never fully replaced the $1 bill in popularity. Past attempts, like the Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea dollars, struggled to gain widespread use. This new Trump coin continues that tradition, offering an alternative to the paper note, particularly for collectors.
