Newsweek - The Trump administration scrapped Biden-era coin designs that highlighted themes like civil rights and the abolition of slavery to mark the U.S.’s 250th anniversary, which a Trump official described as focusing on “DEI.”
"The new Semiquincentennial Quarter designs will celebrate American history and the founding of our great nation," U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach told Fox News Digital on Thursday...
The coin design reversal is the latest example of the Trump administration’s broader effort to reshape how American history is officially depicted.
Trump officials have repeatedly moved to sideline interpretations of U.S. history that highlight racial injustice or systemic inequality, such as launching reviews of museum programs deemed ideologically “distorted,” and challenging how institutions teach the history of slavery.
