To clear things up:

First, while the coin does show Miss Liberty's head the normal term for these coins is "Peace dollars" because they were issued to mark the end of WWI and have the word PEACE on the reverse side.

Second, coins are said to be MINTED rather than printed. Printing involves paper and ink, like dollar bills and newspapers.

Finally, contrary to popular belief, there is nota misspelling on any Peace dollar; TRVST is spelled correctly. The reason is that the coins were lettered using the Roman alphabet, which was a common practice among early- 20th century artists. The Roman alphabet only had 24 letters; "V" served as both the "vee" consonant and the "u" vowel. In fact the same spelling is used on quarters issued at the same time, and was used on many signs and inscriptions. A simple internet search will turn up millions of examples.
