Even the Nazis never put Hitler on a coin, and they were in power issuing 'reichsmarks' with swastikas on them for ~13 years, supposedly Hitler said he should not appear on coins until they had won the war.
So this is real 'glorious leader' energy akin to North Korea.
Fucking hell I’m in a world where Hitler was demonstrably less of an egomaniac than the president of the United States
even north korean money doesn't have images of the currently living glorious leader on them
It's clearly illegal and they can't issue it. This is Bessent's attempt at trying to suck Trump.
it's clearly illegal and they can't issue it ... so, 100% they will mint it and be issuing it
Laws against things are just Trump's todo list
You seem to have mistaken dumpy for someone who respects laws. Big mistake.
Well, you know, Bessent could be calling for Trump's death, in order to be able to legally put his face on coins in two years during what would be Vance's acting term.
Um Ackshually, if Vance becomes President because Trump bites the big one (or resigns), then Vance becomes the actual, not acting, 48th President, for reals.
It's only if Vance becomes President due to the 25th Amendment that he gets to be "acting President".
Thanks. "Unelected" would be better word to substitute for "Acting"
It's only illegal if Trump is alive when they do it. Maybe they know something we don't?
"How soon can you get these out to the public?"
"With some luck, should be able to start circulation in two years"
Can there be a clearer sign of the degeneration of the “full faith and credit” of the United States than embossing the currency with the likeness of a man who is famous for stiffing creditors and contractors for his entire career?
My guess is that he's saying this to suck up to Trump, even though he knows he can't do it. And that Trump Inc will make "commemorative" coins and sell them at inflated prices to MAGA idiots who will believe they're real coins and try to spend them sometime in the future.
Fixed the design, it's more natural now.
Guess I'll need to get an engraver so I can add lil swastikas and Hitler mustaches.
That would be a nice thing to do. And beyond the cost of the engraver, it could be free almost. Just buy the coins modify them and uae them as part of your normal spending to get them back into circulation.
It worked for Where’s George. Coins don’t have serial numbers, though. There must be some way to put a unique identifier on each coin to gamify the fun
So many ass pennies
Gonna be so much defacing of these things...
1776-2026... They plan the total collapse of the country next year?
Under the Dark Enlightenment philosophy adopted by Trump’s financial backers, they do indeed plan the destruction of the US.
So if he dies now, he could have his coin before Vance's term ends...
They can do this if he's dead, better get to work Bessent
