The US Commission of Fine Arts has approved a proposed design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin to commemorate America's 250th anniversary. The size of the coin is yet to be decided. However, there is a law that prohibits living presidents from appearing on currency. The commission also approved Trump's proposed ballroom design for the East Wing. This move reflects a trend of Trump's obsession with rebranding himself as an icon.
