Trump Launches $100 Silver Coin Amid Tight Presidential Race
The former president introduces a high-markup collectible, diverting attention from his campaign efforts.
- Donald Trump announced the sale of a $100 silver coin, featuring his image and signature, calling it a symbol of American greatness.
- The coin is priced at a significant markup, with a spot price for an ounce of silver currently at $32, making the coin's markup over 210%.
- Critics argue that Trump's focus on selling merchandise, including coins, sneakers, and Bibles, distracts from his presidential campaign.

- Despite the collectible nature of the coin, an investment disclaimer notes it is not intended for investment purposes and is unrelated to Trump's political campaign.
