I thought it was illegal to print money with a living person depicted

$2.44 to buy, worth a $1 at face value. The grift that keeps on grifting. Wonder what it costs to make?
Ohh I don’t doubt it one bit, but he just went on a rant about how we had to get rid of the penny because it cost too much to make…curious which one it is here lol

well, there you go. Upcycling: 1 penny == 1 dollar == 2.44 dollars
That's pretty normal when you're buying small amounts directly from the mint. You really only do that when you are looking to collect, and intend to hold them in mint condition until the value is increased from rarity years down the line.
This isn't particularly special other than the fact that the Mint is barred by law from making coins for living presidents. Well, until now of course because of Trump's massively inflated ego, complete lack of self awareness, and ignoring laws.
They’re actually not barred by law.
The law prohibits putting a living person on paper currency, and another law prohibits putting a living person on the reverse side of coins. Nothing about the obverse side. It’s only tradition to not put a living person on coins.
Calvin Coolidge appeared on the Sesquicentennial half dollar while he was president.
They learned to charge more after they accidentally "sold" coins at face value and people just bought them for credit card rewards.
After the "national emergency," the yokels will think they're worth thousands.
I'm disappointed this hasn't turned into a caption competition. There isn't even one edit here in the comments with the text next to his stupid paedo face edited to say something scathing 😟

They used the mug shot
That is his official presidential portrait. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_portraits_of_Donald_Trump#2025_presidential_portrait
They both look the same and it kinda makes sense
Yup, I think it will look funny to see next to the other presidents' in history books
The U.S. got jealous of Canada and had to also have a coin called a loony.
I kinda want to hear trump try to pronounce 'semiquincentennial'
It's a beautiful year. So many years this country has. No thanks to Sleepy Joe. Asleep at the wheel... they say. Everybody says it. Sleeping on the button. This is a failed nation but we can—the democrats, they're clamoring to rig the election. Crooked Hillary and her cronies are—so many coins from the mint. I said "make me a coin." And they said it couldn't be done. But I made them make it. Made the Trump coin. Available now at Spencer's Gifts.

"The coins can be purchased in 25-coin rolls for $61 and 100-coin bags for $154.50"
With a $1 face value. So, yeah, you can spend them, but you lose $0.55 to $1.44 every time you do!
If ever I get one of these pieces of shit in my pocket change its getting a stache.
Exactly, I'm engraving it on.
Hand it back and ask for actual currency.
buy em, melt em down, pour them into bullet molds, load them into shells, fire them into nazis, win
I keep forgetting that the USA doesn't even use $1 coins, it's paper usually....
What a weird "world currency".
But that's nothing new and I don't want Trump to "fix" it with yet another ego-stroking grift. 🤮
Man, after experiencing Euro currency, I much prefer it over the bulky USD currency. Like it feels so much better especially the coins
We have plenty of $1 coins though.
Oh ok, I didn't know that. Every bit of imagery I've seen, real or fiction, still or moving, points to the $1 bill being the main thing.
Yeah we’ve had dollar coins going back to 1794.
The famous ones are the Morgan Dollar, Peace Dollar, Susan B Anthony silver dollar, Eisenhower Dollar, and the whole presidential line of gold dollars that went up to Reagan initially, and added HW Bush after he passed.
Americans just don’t use coins that often so you don’t see them in circulation much. A lot of soda machines give out dollar coins as change though.
This stupid shit reminds me of his first term with then treasury secretary Mnunchin and his wife holding the giant sheet of money…attention seeking whores.
Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin, wife cause internet sensation posing with sheets of money
lol the pics


And the guy in the background. Wonder what's going through his head. Probably sth like "oh shit, they're not supposed to do that"
Yah that shit was wild when that happened and we thought then that was batshit crazy…lol and behold, welcome to 2026.
2017... Trump1.0 just getting started ... the Rocket Boy debacle, one of his first globally perceived idiocies, these days it would hardly blip on the crazy meter.
This is real or some weird stock photo?
That really happened. 2017

And he EP'd "Suicide Squad." Unforgivable.
As with the first time around, the only acceptable ownership of such memorabilia is if the original acquirer "retrieved" it directly from the source.
Another grift for the homeschooled morons who fell for the last one. They'll be buying these coins for above face value, thinking they've got some kind of heirloom.
- Buy them, wait til they are no longer purchasable, then resell them at a massive markup to degen MAGAs.
- ???
- Profit
If the money didn’t go into Donny’s pocket I would buy a few just to lay on a train track.
Weird that it got approved with such a glaring error on the date, 1776 instead of 1946.
