CNN: Trump $1 Coins Are out of Stock Hours After Going on Sale
TRANSCRIPT:
COLLINS: "Our 'Source Code' tonight is 61, because that‘s how many dollars you have to pay to get a roll of 25 commemorative $1 Trump coins. Hours after the U.S. Mint put out those new coins on sale today, they appear to be out of stock. The 25 coin roll and the 100 coin bag are both listed as unavailable tonight. The gold-colored coin features President Donald Trump‘s portrait on one side and the presidential seal on the other, and a 250 marking America‘s 250th anniversary. Now, federal law prohibits images of sitting or living former presidents on coins, but Congress passed a law allowing the Treasury to mint special $1 coins to honor the event. And if you‘re wondering why 25 $1 coins will cost you 61 bucks, the Mint says that part of the extra cost goes towards organizations and projects that benefit the community. CNN has reached out to the Treasury Department for more details."
