NEW TRUMP COIN DESIGNS ANNOUNCED

The special President Donald Trump $1 coin - which is being minted to mark the country's 250th birthday - appears to be getting a more classic design, as opposed to the 'fight, fight, fight' imagery originally shared by the Treasury Department.

Several new designs of the controversial Trump coin, which Democrats are pushing to get blocked, were submitted to the Commission of Fine Art, the independent agency that advises the federal government on design aesthetics.

The trio of coin designs are all close-ups of Trump's face - with the word 'Liberty' over his head and the years 1776 to 2026 listed below.

Each one has the president looking in a different direction.

Commission members voted at a meeting Thursday morning to recommend the version that's a side-profile of Trump, as long as it's to the president's liking.

They were concerned about the look of Trump's hair in the other proposed designs.

'The plate of hair up there is not accurate,' said commission member, James C. McCrery, of the design where Trump is looking forward.

McCrery was the original pick to design Trump's ballroom, but was replaced by Shalom Baranes, who has more experience handling major federal construction projects.

McCrery was among five new appointees to the Commission of Fine Arts, which is also reviewing the ballroom design, that Trump selected earlier this month after firing the former members in October.
