I do love that it looks like it's giving the lifespan of Liberty.

Liberty 1776-2026

Not that we've ever truly been a free country, but it's a bit poetic nonetheless.

Reminder that any such coin is commemorative and holds no actual value, nor is it protected from being intentionally destroyed, or else the creation of the coin is illegal.

The value is 1 dollar assuming it's part of this series.

Looks like it's a little more complicated. It is illegal, but they're doing it anyways before the courts rule on an explicit rule being broken. Their excuse isn't very good either, so it'd be a pretty transparent loss of faith in the courts to authorize it. Probably just making them to give their buddies to show off what they can get away with.

Lol it's the Inmate #P01135809 commemorative coin. The design seems inspired by that mugshot.

It'd be hilarious to have Donvict in a nursing home and getting to see that the Democrats released an Obama coin - while Obama was still alive.

🤣

Honestly kinda want one. It'd be like having a coin of Hitler commissioned by the man himself
