U.S. Mint begins sales of Trump $1 coins
Democrats need to tear this monument to his ego along with all the other ones. It's so fucking disgraceful they should make it a campaign issue; promise that a Democratic Congress will enforce the law and these stupid trinkets won't count as US currency. Buyer beware in other words.
diaperingdad.bsky.social3Beginning January 20, 2029, it should have all the legal purchasing power of a carnival token.
Brian Wetjen3"We will pass a law that states any currency minted with the name, image, or likeness of a living person on it is not and never will be considered legal tender under any circumstances."
Ceiling Cat1Especially since he keeps using his booking mug shot where he does the Hitler stare as his signature pose. It's a flex that he knows infuriates liberals.
Markets up on news of new Trump coin from US Mint.
Please observe that Trump's face on this coin looks like Trump's official second term portrait looks like the mugshot I was told over and over again would hurt Trump in the 2024 election The party that made this mistake is absolutely sure they can court right-wing voters by moving to the center
Laura Jedeed75I'm not saying everyone has to understand the mugshot thing on a gut level, but I do think if you don't understand why the mugshot helped Trump instead of hurting him you should probably not get paid for your opinion anymore
manul neko1I assumed they did it on purpose because it makes him look ‘tough.’
Coup Otter1a few weeks before the election, walking to the corner grocery store, i spotted an old chud shouting at his friend (i assume) about "getting out" of the neighborhood. he was wearing an "I'M VOTING FOR THE CONVICTED FELON" t-shirt featuring the mugshot. and that's why i'm leaving Middle Village.
Jay Thurber Show16I've told this story before, but I once worked for a tech-bro doofus whose official portrait also looked like this. "Send it to my grad students, I want to look mean," he said. He was in the audience July 15 when Trump spoke at the Army War College. It's a whole thing with these dummies
H.E. Cas Piancey7Oh, the US Mint is cooked lol
Offensive. Today, for the first time in the country's history, there is U.S. currency with the sitting president depicted solo.
The new $1 coin with President Trump's face, gold-colored but struck from base metal, sells in 25-coin rolls for $61 and 100-coin bags for $154.50 as part of the U.S. Mint's series marking America's 250th birthday. The dollars are also in circulation.
Hutch-e35Now Canada and USA both feature a loon on their $1 coin.
Crow mango6"...gold-colored but struck from base metal..." This says it all right here.
Trevor Foster6His nose looks like it's been pushed in. It's a bad design even by arcade token standards.
FritzcoKid4RIP America 🇺🇸 1776-2026 We had a good run
Al Petterson2LIBERTY 1776-2026. Like a tombstone.
FabPaule1Fake gold to match his fake tan & fake hair? Only MAGAt would think $1.61 for a $1 coin a “bargain” 🙄
G. Willow Wilson227"Gold-colored but struck from base metal" sounds like a sick Shakespearean burn
The Nerdskull53Everyone involved in this needs to go to jail, including Trump. It is flatly illegal.
Nash32So there's no actual gold involved, making it functionally worth no more or less than any other coin we use as currency.
ResJudicata2210Pursuant to 31 U.S. Code (USC) § 5114, federal law explicitly states that "only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities". As is usual and customary for **FELOUTUS, this is an illegal act.
Relevant Ferret If Known5Lmfao you have to buy them in stacks, what a fucking racket.
Samira Ahmed3Gold-colored but struck from base metal is so America.
The U.S. Mint is selling rolls and bags of its new Trump $1 coin starting Wednesday.
BrighterDaysAhead2Where is the profit going?
[email protected]2Love how you report this like it’s not BAT SHIT INSANE
oldandslow.bsky.social2Shoutout to the engravers that preserved his disfigured, cross-eyed visage.
Dana Mello2LOL it looks like AI slop 😂😂
effyouceekaymaga.bsky.social1The law says no living President on money. This administration not only breaks the law, it has the audacity to put 'In God We Trust" on the back. The religious zealots cheer, because they're stupid and racist. Their racism means more to them than any other thing in this world.
Áine ☽𖤐☾2Toss them in urinals everywhere. 🚽
OMG... The US mint is making those $1 Trump coins, but they need to be purchased in 25 coin rolls for $61 or 100 coin rolls for $154.50, so you're paying *more* than the $1 coins are worth. 😂😂😂 Just more Trump grift and scams. Only a #loser would get these. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-1...
Doberdog2They contain no gold. They are described as having "a gold-like finish". Totally scammy.
Aureus 𓃥1It's weird having a con artist as President. Trump is like what you'd get if PT Barnum, Kim Jong-il and Adolf Hitler were involved in a Transporter accident.
Geoff B1That price is ridiculous. Anyone who buys these deserves what they get, beyond these tacky-looking coins.
