Thayer Amendment - 1866:

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Can-a-Living-Person-Appear-on-US-Currency

"The Thayer Amendment: This 1866 law prohibited the use of the image of any living person on “the bonds, securities, notes, or postal currency of the United States.” It was an outgrowth of a silly act of vanity committed by Treasury Department official Spencer Clark, who decided to put himself on banknotes intended to honor explorer William Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame. The congressional bill authorizing the creation of the note only specified that it should honor “Clark,” and so Spencer Clark decided to memorialize himself."

I didn't know the history on that, that's hilarious that it was passed as a "fuck you, in particular!" for one guy!

Can’t be on currency? Put yourself on a non-circulating “commemorative” bill “for collectors” and sell them. Problem solved. Anyone want to take bets that this is what will happen?

I've already seen anti-Pumkinhead things on currency, this bill is going to be the most defaced currency ever.

Also, Bessent is such a useless suck-up.

Bessent looks like Jim Carrey playing a cartoonishly over-the-top villain.

It’s quite untoward to have a pedophile’s visage on any of our currency.

And certainly you can trust the word of a grossly unqualified sycophant.

Isn't a person supposed to be dead first before we put their face on currency? I think the people advocating for this must be wanting it to be true! And wouldn't that be considered a threat to our lovely dearest Sir, King Pedo?

Illegal

$250 that's a weird denomination. How about the Epstein files?

I look at this guy and clearly see someone with a crazy submissive kink, something really degrading.

I don't know why they keep using the idiotic looking down portrait of him for everything. He looks so insecure, like he's trying to be tough and failing.

$250? Seems a weird denomination. Why not the $47 bill? I'd bet most Americans could scrape together $47 and frame it over their microwave oven. But $250? That's a lot of dough.

Does he know he doesn't get royalties? Or does he? Is there a bill in the works I haven't heard about?

The PEDOllar bill

Bessent just looks so much like a bad parody of a guy you want to punch in the face.

Firstively no other person in US history got to choose which portrait of theirs went on our money.

And secondish the jokes on him because I'll never see it because I never have that much cash anyways.

Bessent: Nothing 'untoward' about fellating Trump

Is that brown lipstick Bessent is wearing?

Who carries $250 in cash?

It’ll be the pedo bill.

I've already vowed not to accept any currency with his signature on it. Putting his mug shot on it will only make that easier.

Cool, but no thanks.

He looks like Stephen King's evil brother.

My prediction: It'll become the most used bill for fraud, drugs and money laundering!

Not a coincidence this is the hourly rate for teen hookers?
