President Donald Trump is the first sitting president in a century to appear on a U.S. coin, reviving questions about whether the practice is legal.

    The last thing I saw on a Trump gold coin (not this one) was that it basically had less gold in it than sea water. The value really depends on scrap price. I know some of the official Trump brand coins are “high quality, rust and damage resistant iron alloy” so maybe 4¢ a lb. Any brass ones would be a couple bucks a pound if a place would take that particular alloy.

    Vending machines would have to be sized and programmed for them.
