    There’s only one rule about whose faces can appear on currency in the US: the person has to be dead.

      I mean, I can tolerate a $1 Trump coin if the stipulations are met…very very soon.

    Why the fuck not. The US didn’t make it to 250; it’s year 1 of post-US. Might as well.

    I knew it, Steven Miller has been “Weekend-at-Bernie’s”-ing him for two years and so now he’s eligible to have his face on money

    What is one more felony? Perhaps someone can be found guilty and sentenced to no punishment.

    Surely a 30 cent (or maybe 70 cent or some other not really believable and pretty much useless) coin value would better represent Trump.

      I’d say a 47¢ coin would be perfect. Plays into his ego, impossible to do math with so no one would actually use it, and it’s a few cents short of a normal functioning thing.

        A perfect match for the character of the man whose face would be on the coin!

    It was a good experiment that ended with Trump. Fitting.

    One time I came home drunk at night and had a campfire out back. For some reason, I had the urge to burn a few dollar bills that I had in my pocket, I think because money was such a concern for me at the time and the simple act of burning a few of these life-tickets upon which we all depend felt freeing.

    Now this, I would invest in a torch and smelting pot for these ones. Or stamp Epstein on the other side and leave them strewn about.
