        yes, official us mint coins have been

        The US Mint produces two things which should not be confused. They make actual legal US currency coins which hold monetary value based on the “full faith” of the United States as money. These frequently have artwork of past Presidents. The US Mint also produces collectable medals. The medals are not money.

        The trump thing you linked is a medal, not money. There is no US currency with trump on it. My understanding is that the only money with US Presidents on it is dead US Presidents. That would exclude trump.

            When did I say they were us currency?

            You said its a coin, which the only coins the US Mint produces are currency. This is a medal which isn’t a coin. A US Mint created coin is currency.
