The US Mint is generally prohibited from producing coins featuring living public figures or presidents.

Looks like a depiction of Traitorapist Trump right after he has thrown food on the wall, which he does 1-2 per week according to a GOP former white house staffer.

    whats funny is even like lincoln would make no sense a 250th anniversary. only washington or the founding fathers would make any sense. I really wish the constitution had forbidden use of any person in any signage or holidays or such. no holidays based around birthdays. heck it should have encouraged holidays around significant democratic dates like the singing of the constitution and election day and such.

    Absolutely nothing feels like a bit much, but I would 100% vote for an amendment banning naming buildings, statues, or other emblems of any living president.

    I mean even historic figures are human and far from perfect. I think it just makes sense to take humans out of the equation. Especially when you get partisan things. I mean reagans dead and look at all the things named after him. can you imagine if the republicans survive how much they will plaster trump all over the place. like its not plastered enough. I mean removing humans leaves us with plenty of options and I really do wish they had a set a precedence of significant days and dates in democracy and freedom type of thing. Like I would hate using the date of the start of the revolutionary war but would love the date the constitution was signed or the declaration of indpendence or significant amendments like the one almost ending slavery.

    I thought a coin of a living president was illegal?

    If they're ignoring the law then we can ignore the law against defacement and destruction of US currency, right? Melt them down? Carve Hitler staches or penises in his fists?

    Yeah, a frightened animal will leash out, but it's also easier to estimate it's actions - even if those actions will be stupid (and I'm not sure if the orange idiot even needs to be frightened for that)

    Still, we can handle and model that, and work against it - because it's always the fucking same pattern

    Gross. Imagine having that ugly fat fucks face on a coin for our 250th anniversary... Shameful. Guess since he's the one that destroyed what we have, it makes sense.

    You could melt it to increase its value, but you know it won’t be made of real gold. Anything with that man’s approval is a lie.

    It already has the death year of the US in its design, it should be trivial to make him eligible with a tactical covfefe hamberder.

    Deploy it in the middle of June, and it will be a nice, round 80.

    ever wonder why every coin says "liberty" in some random spot? the coinage act of 1792 mandates that all coins must depict liberty because the US framers did not like "too monarch-like" effigies, so the people in the 1900s just called it a day by slapping onto Amerindians and historical figures the word LIBERTY

    however, this precise design no longer follows this law, due to the placement of the mounted head making it instead a depiction of LIBFRTY/j

    This coin would be a commemorative coin to the death of freedom and democracy in the US.
