To be on a coin, Trump would have to be dead and that works for me! 😆

1. Maybe a coin showing a half eaten whopper and tRump is joking on the other half, would make a fitting half dollar.nt

2. There are lots of bullion coins with Trump

being sold though. I bet he gets a cut from it.

As they say in software

IT'S NOT A BUG
IT'S A FEATURE.

10. MaddowBlog-Treasury eyes a commemorative dollar coin for Trump, with plans for a 2026 rollout

It might sound like a weird joke, but there’s an actual plan to make a legal tender $1 coin next year that would glorify the incumbent president.

It’s against this backdrop that NBC News reported:

The Treasury on Friday shared draft images of a $1 commemorative coin, featuring President Donald Trump’s visage, that the United States Mint is preparing in honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Trump’s instantly recognizable profile is featured on the ‘heads’ side of the coin. On the ‘tails’ side, the coin will have an image of Trump with his first raised, standing in front of an American flag.

.....I should probably emphasize that this is not a joke. The report is not satire. This is not intended to make the administration look foolish for the sake of comedy......

Putting aside questions of propriety, how would this be legal? The answer is, it might not be. The New York Times reported:

The Treasury is authorized to mint the coins for a year, according to the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020. The coins must have ‘designs emblematic of the U.S. semiquincentennial,’ the legislation says. It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy.

Let’s also not overlook the fact that the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 also states, “No head and shoulders portrait or bust of any person, living or dead, and no portrait of a living person may be included in the design on the reverse of any coin under subsections (x), (y), and (z).”

I wish that this was satire.

11. True Story

In 2005, when Reagan stamps were first issued, I was in the post office and I looked at them and put them back. The woman standing next to me said
"I wish they had George W.Bush stamps."
I said he'd have to be dead and she said exactly!
Got a laugh out of that.
