A gold-colored dollar coin bearing Donald Trump’s face drew such intense interest that the website was overwhelmed.

The U.S. Treasury released the coin on Wednesday as part of commemorations for the 250th anniversary of the United States. The issue carries Trump’s likeness and marks another highly unusual attempt by the Republican billionaire to leave his personal imprint on national institutions.
