A series of $100 commemorative coins has even been released by the campaign of Donald Trump, who is seeking election as president of the United States.
Next to somewhat unusual items, such as Trump sneakers, Trump Bibles, Trump playing cards, and NFTs, isa silver coin with a profile of Trump’s face and a picture of the White House with the words “In God we Trust.”
The silver coins, weighing 1 ounce (about 30 grams) and 99.9% pure, will be available on Wednesday, the Guardian reports.
Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday that the coins were “the ONLY REAL coin designed by me – and minted with pride here in the US.”

Like a true trader, he said in the video on his social network that “currency is all that matters: This beautiful, limited edition coin honors our movement, our fight for freedom, prosperity and putting America first, we always put America first.
“It is more than just a collector’s item, it is a testament to the resilience and strength of the American people, our American patriots that we love so dearly.”
The British newspaper notes that the former president needs money as his campaign raised in August a third of the amount raised by his rival, Kamala Harris. Available figures suggest that Harris is – financially at least – in a better place.
