Republicans propose putting Kirk on US coin

[Danmel]

Two Republican lawmakers told Fox News Digital they plan to introduce legislation to honor late conservative activist Charlie Kirk by printing his image and name on nearly half a million new silver dollar coins.

Newsweek reached out to the U.S. Treasury for comment via email on Wednesday.

Why It Matters
Kirk, 31, was fatally shot during a question-and-answer session at Utah Valley University on September 10 during his "American Comeback Tour." A suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, is in custody, charged with aggravated murder and other offenses.


Pfluger, who is the chair of the Republican Study Committee, has expressed his support for Kirk and the desire to honor his legacy. He described Kirk as a "conservative titan" in an email statement to Newsweek, saying that Kirk "deserves permanent recognition alongside our nation's greatest leaders and influential figures," while Hamadeh called him a "national treasure."

Pfluger said that "this commemorative coin will make Charlie the youngest American ever immortalized on legal U.S. currency, a fitting honor that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and founding fathers who shaped our republic

This is just insane.

1. Gimme a friggin' break!!!

[Emile]

2. I love collecting coins, but I would pass on

this one. They're going to valued at spot silver price. They'll charge you much more for the coin than what it's worth.

[MrWowWow]

3. Put kirk on a $3 bill

That would suffice. Flip side would be a swastika image.

[Attilatheblond]

9. Or a wooden nickle

[sheshe2]

4. When that is done...

They will then order crosses in every church with Charlie as their new god.

Hallelujah, Charlie has risen today.

[Maru Kitteh]

17. WWCD bracelets.

[sheshe2]

18. Hell yes!

That too, praise Jesus, Charlie has risen.

5. Fleecing the morons.

Can they really sell six million of them?

That'd be really sad.

6. Any business etc that tried to pass one of those coins on me would get an earful. Something like this:

"You can stick that racist piece of shit up your ass."

7. They already have a 1 ounce silver Kirk

coin advertised on Metal Money Exchange for $52. It is to support Turning Pont, not from the government though.

8. August Pfluger has run UNOPPOSED the past two times.

The Democratic Party needs to recruit a candidate in TX-11.

Someone who is willing to run on Less Trump as their main issue.

The Less Trump vote needs a champion there.

[Attilatheblond]

10. How come GOP pols NEVER even consider doing things to make people's lives better?

That might get them some votes so they wouldn't have to cheat, gerrymander, or suck up.

[area51]

11. Pardon me while I...

[valleyrogue]

12. If anything, his image should be on a plugged nickel. n/t

[struggle4progress]

13. Why isn't Harriet on the 20 yet?

[Bayard]

14. Why do they need to put him on a coin when they've already put him on a pedestal?

[dalton99a]

15. Put the dead troll on the $1 bill. Make Trump jealous

[Orrex]

16. One supposes that many of these will wind up with holes drilled through them

[ecstatic]

19. Pure insanity and offensive.

So they're just going to ignore all his racism and sexism?

[Ilsa]

20. Oh shucks. I was hoping you meant

Capt. James T. Kirk.
