The 1776 ~ 2026 President Donald J. Trump $1 coin has a release date. The United States Mint will open orders for rolls and bags of the Semiquincentennial dollar on September 2, 2026, at noon Eastern, with the 25-coin Philadelphia roll listed at $61.00 under item number 26SQRP and the 100-coin Philadelphia bag at $154.50 under 26SQBP. A household order limit of two applies to each, and it stays in force until 2 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, September 3.
The prices themselves are unremarkable. What surrounds them is not. This is a Philadelphia-only dollar with a plain edge, no mint mark, no Denver counterpart, and product limits that dwarf every other dollar the Mint has released this year.
Trump $1 Coin Prices: $61 a Roll, $154.50 a Bag
The Mint’s August 4 announcement confirmed the designs and mentioned rolls and bags, but attached no figures to them. The numbers arrived instead in a Federal Register notice published on August 12 and effective August 14. They match, to the cent, what the Mint has charged all year for 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags of the 2026 Native American dollar and the four 2026 American Innovation dollars.
Run the arithmetic and the two products diverge sharply. A roll works out to $2.44 per coin. A bag works out to $1.545. The cheapest route into the issue is the largest one, which is the standard shape of Mint roll and bag pricing but worth stating plainly for anyone deciding how deep to go on release day.

Trump Dollar Coin Specifications: Plain Edge, No Mint Mark, Philadelphia Only
Since 2007 the American dollar coin has carried its housekeeping on the rim. The 2026 Native American and American Innovation dollars are incused on the edge with the year, the mint mark, and E PLURIBUS UNUM. The Trump dollar abandons that convention outright. Its edge is plain, its date sits on the obverse as the dual inscription 1776 ~ 2026, and it carries no mint mark at all despite being struck exclusively at Philadelphia.
The single mint is the second departure. Both of the Mint’s ongoing dollar programs have offered collectors P and D options in rolls and bags this year. The Trump dollar offers one mint, one edge, and two products.
Beneath the surface it is the same coin as its stablemates. The composition is the familiar manganese brass alloy, 88.5 percent copper with 6 percent zinc, 3.5 percent manganese and 2 percent nickel, struck at 8.100 grams and 26.49 mm on a circulating finish. The golden appearance comes from the alloy, not from any precious metal content.
The obverse portrait is the work of United States Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna, based on an official White House photograph by Daniel Torok, and carries LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST alongside the dual date. The reverse revives former Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro’s Presidential Seal, the eagle with olive branch and arrows and the E PLURIBUS UNUM banner, modified so that the shield on the eagle’s breast carries the inscription 250.

How Many Trump $1 Coins Will the Mint Sell?
Here is where the release stops resembling a routine dollar launch. The Mint has set no mintage limit on the coin at all, and product limits of 150,000 rolls and 50,000 bags.
Set that against the most recent Innovation dollar. The Minnesota release was capped at 8,400 Philadelphia rolls, 7,350 Denver rolls, 3,150 Philadelphia bags and 2,950 Denver bags. Across both mints, that amounts to roughly one million coins made available to collectors. The Trump dollar’s two products together account for about 8.75 million coins, close to nine times as many, from a single facility.
The Mint has not explained the gap and is under no obligation to. The rest of the 2026 dollar rolls and bags have sold through, with only Minnesota Innovation rolls still listed, and the allocation here is plainly sized for an audience wider than the standing dollar programs draw.
The 2026 Trump 24 Karat Gold Proof Coin
The same August 12 notice carried a second Trump product that had not surfaced in the Mint’s own announcements: a 2026 Semiquincentennial President Donald J. Trump 24 karat one ounce gold proof coin. Its retail price is listed as TBD, with no release date and no product details attached.
The design work is further along than the paperwork suggests. The Commission of Fine Arts reviewed candidate obverse and reverse designs for the gold coin back in March. When a price does appear, it will be set from the Mint’s precious metals pricing grid, which moves with the prevailing LBMA gold range rather than being fixed in advance, so the figure will depend on where the market sits on the day the Mint commits.
What Collectors Should Watch Before September 2
The issue has not had a quiet run. The Semiquincentennial coinage authority at 31 U.S.C. ยง5112(y) bars the portrait of a living person from the reverse of coins struck under the program, and the Mint has placed the Trump portrait on the obverse. Critics have pointed to other design provisions in the code, while Treasury has maintained that the coin is properly issued under the 2026 authority. None of that argument has moved the schedule.
For collectors, September 2 is a practical question rather than a constitutional one. A dollar with no mintage limit and millions of coins on offer is not an issue that rewards panic buying, and a household limit that lifts the following afternoon suggests the Mint expects supply to hold. Whatever scarcity eventually attaches to the 1776 ~ 2026 Trump dollar will come from what happens to the coins after the rolls are opened, not from what the Mint puts on the shelf.
