  "account": "On September 2, the United States Mint launched the sale of a special one-dollar coin featuring President Donald Trump's face. This marks the first time a living individual has been featured on US currency. Despite the US Mint's regulations typically not permitting living individuals on legal tender, the Trump administration used a 2020 law to make the coin. The Mint describes these coins as both legal tender and collectibles, designed to commemorate the country's 250th anniversary.\n\nThe coin, though gold-colored, does not contain actual gold. Instead, it's made of 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, and 2% nickel. However, these coins are not sold individually; customers must buy them in rolls. The minimum purchase is a 25-coin roll, which costs $61, making each coin approximately $2.6. For those looking to save, a 100-coin bag is available for $154.50, reducing the cost per coin to about $1.54.\n\nTo purchase, follow these steps: First, visit the official US Mint product page for the 'President Donald J. Trump $1 Coin.' There, choose the product and note that there are two purchasing options. Due to the high demand, the Mint has imposed a limit of two orders per household during the initial sale period, which is expected to continue until 2pm ET on September 3. After choosing your option, review your order details, shipping address, and total cost before submitting your order.",
