According to the US Mint, the cost of a roll of 25 coins is $61 and the cost of a bag of 100 coins is $154.50. About half an hour after the sale started, people started being sent to the waiting area on the website. There the waiting time was said to be about 1 hour. A household could make a maximum of 2 purchases until 2pm Thursday. The US Mint said the 2.5 lakh coins were randomly placed in rolls and bags with a special ‘4th of July’ marking. These coins were minted on 4th July. Independence Day is celebrated on this day in America. Photo of a living President for the first time since 1926 According to the US Mint, the first photo of a living President was shown on a coin in 1926. At that time, President Calvin Coolidge was featured on a half-dollar coin issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence. Under US law, it is prohibited to use the image of a living president or a living former president on a coin. However, for America’s 250th anniversary, Congress passed the Circulating Collectable Coin Redesign Act. Under this, the Treasury was allowed to issue special $1 coins on this occasion. The law also states that the reverse side of the coin cannot have a portrait of any living person. Trump’s photo is on the front of the coin, so it is considered legal. —————————- Also read this news… Netherlands removed 86 tons of gold from America and Canada and sent it to London: Kept it in the Bank of England, said – will be able to sell it easily here in case of crisis.
