Maybe the rumors of bad health are true and they're getting ready 🤞

I hope so too, but I’m sure it’s just sycophants doing sycophant stuff.

I a couple decades this will be illegal to own just like nazi memorabilia, and for the same reasons.

USD should be changed to CRNG on the trading markets

Does this mean he's gonna die? Cause in the Untied States, you're supposed to die before your face can be on coins.
In Canada, we put the current monarch's face on coins. Does this mean Trump is fixing to declare himself king?
silence7@slrpnk.net · 6 pts · 317d
No. They just took the part about there being a law against coins and bills with the image of a living person off the Treasury website.

Is that how the Untied States changes laws now? Just editing the books? No need for court decisions or debating bills in congress?
silence7@slrpnk.net · 5 pts · 317d
Not even the law books; just the government websites which acknowledge that the law exists.

This is so awesome. I can add it to my collection of commemorative Star Wars coins. I bet it’ll appreciate in value 🤣
GuyFawkes@midwest.social · 5 pts · 317d
I figure it’ll be like Nazi memorabilia in a few years.

Melted down into bars and lost somewhere in the Swiss banking system?
I assume he’s just going to swim in a gigantic Scrooge-McDucky vault full of them. Naked, wearing only the power loader from Aliens.

"In god we trust"
That is very poorly placed

Do you think they've bothered to trademark it? Could get some coins custom printed like this and beat them to market

In general, the US makes it illegal to produce anything which people could be reasonably expected to confuse for actual US currency unless you're doing at the behest of the government.
It's probably a lot more effective to build a stamping machine which re-stamps them with a Traitor label on the head, and a Russian flag on the back.

Movie magic means you can get away with it by adding a little "Not legal tender; for motion picture use only" on there, but I do like your idea

I'm surprised he isn't trying to sell them himself for $100 each.

What in the living hell. Fight fight fight?? Please. The money is trump propaganda.

I will melt that down before it touches my pockets

So pathetic and so not Christian.

Terrible idea to be honest.

I wouldn’t pay extra for it but if I ever got one I’d save it so I can show people in the future that the United States became fascist
