Not a US coin but a Liechtenstein coin. The country is available for rent at $70k/night which includes, according CNN, the ability to "print your own temporary currency with your face on it." This is also covered in The New York Times and The Guardian.
If it's an official coin of Liechtenstein with your face on it, will PCGS slab it?

That's the text in the CNN example but I'm sure you could arrange to get coins minted. It is your country after all!
Evidently, some countries that have nothing to offer by means of attracting visitors will find it necessary to resort to gimmicks. Liechtenstein also offers an unofficial (unrecognized) passport entry stamp tourists can stamp in their passports for a small fee. Of course if you're naive enough to pay for that stamp the joke's on you as unofficial markings in your passport will render it invalid.

Surprised Donald Trump hasn't "rented" Liechtenstein for some self promotion / publicity stunt !

I don't remember even seeing a gate or border. Only a sign, similar to the sign on the 405 saying "Orange County" or "Los Angeles County".

You get the stamp at a tourist office in Valduz.
