  "account": "The US Treasury has released a commemorative $1 coin featuring the face of former President Donald Trump, marking the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding. The coins, priced at $61 for a roll of 25 or $154.50 for a bag of 100, are intended for circulation. This move, which contravenes federal law prohibiting living presidents from appearing on US currency, represents Trump's effort to brand national institutions during his second term. The coin's reverse side showcases the US presidential seal, with the phrase \"250\" symbolizing the bicentennial of American independence. This latest action follows Trump's attempts to place his likeness on other US currency, including a proposed $250 bill that would necessitate a congressional amendment to the law restricting living individuals from appearing on bills.",
  "summary": "This is the latest move in an unprecedented campaign by the Republican billionaire to put his personal stamp on national institutions.",
