United States Government Announces Joe Biden 3 Cent Coin
Washington D.C. — The United States Treasury Department announced today that it will be releasing a new 3 cent coin featuring the face of President Joe Biden. The decision comes as a way to commemorate President Biden’s first year in office and to honor his commitment to the country.
The creation of new coins featuring the faces of US Presidents has been a long-standing tradition, with a number of presidents having had their likeness featured on currency throughout American history. The most well-known of these is, of course, President George Washington, whose image is featured on the one-dollar bill and the quarter.
According to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the new coin will be made of a durable copper and nickel alloy and will feature President Biden’s profile on the front, with the words “Joe Biden” and “46th President” inscribed around the edge. The reverse side of the coin will showcase an image of the White House with the words “United States of America” and “In God We Trust.”
“We are proud to release this special edition coin that commemorates President Biden’s leadership and dedication to this country,” said Secretary Yellen. “It is our hope that this coin will serve as a reminder of his commitment to unity, progress, and equity for all Americans.”
The release date for the coin has not been announced yet, but officials say it will be distributed through the Federal Reserve System and will be available for use in vending machines and other transactions.
The announcement has already generated mixed reactions from the public, with some expressing excitement for the unique commemorative coin, while others argue that the 3 cent denomination is unnecessary and confusing. The decision to create a 3 cent coin has been met with some criticism, as the denomination is not widely used in modern American transactions.
However, proponents of the new coin argue that it serves as a symbolic gesture of President Biden’s commitment to the working class and the middle class, who are often the most impacted by inflation and economic uncertainty. A 3 cent coin, they say, is more accessible and useful for everyday transactions, such as tipping or making small purchases.
Regardless of the public opinion, the new 3 cent coin featuring President Biden’s face is set to become a part of American currency history. It will join a long line of commemorative coins that have been created to honor US Presidents, and it will serve as a lasting reminder of the work and accomplishments of President Biden during his time in office.
As the US continues to navigate challenging times, it is hoped that the creation of this new coin will serve as a symbol of hope and unity, bringing together Americans from all walks of life in their shared commitment to a better future for all.
