I thought it was illegal to print money with a living person depicted
When have trivial things like “laws” or “morals” ever stopped this administration??
What a shitty coin. If you’re going to violate a law at least do it for something with taste. Like:
- an Obama quarter for illinois with a reaper drone
- a Clinton coin with a dress
- a Biden coin with a staircase
- a bush coin with a shoe
Bush with french fries to remind people how you are supposed to react to an asshole who tries to change the name of something.
I would love a Bush / Shoe coin. Who would ever think we would come to view that as not even a top 10 weird moment of a president.
Apparently there’s only 1 law that says that and the way it’s worded applies only to paper money.
We’ve been relying on politeness and tradition to not do this. So yeah here we are
Well you see, we ain’t priting cuz you can’t print on metal! Gotcha liberal!
We can fix that.
I thought so too! Same with naming public places.
But this admin shows me over and over again that the USA truly is the country of boundless possibilities.
$2.44 to buy, worth a $1 at face value. The grift that keeps on grifting. Wonder what it costs to make?
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.
Ahh so thats where the term mint condition comes from?! Guess I never connected those dots.
“rarity years down the line” ain’t true of course. There is no reason to ever buy these as an investment.
pennies
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
he just went on a rant about how we had to get rid of the penny
well, there you go. Upcycling: 1 penny == 1 dollar == 2.44 dollars
Hahaha love the use of the term upcycle, doubt they know what that means lol. Doesn’t that rhyme with inflation? 😂
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.
Well there are tons of commemorative coins that he has grifted, but this is the first that is being put into general circulation which is wild.
Has the Trump family invested in prepper equipment?
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 😟
Oh my. He is so scathed because of this.
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
Long may he be remembered as the President who both looks like he is, and actually is, pooping his pants during photoshoots.
He’s got his pose down as tight as any instagram thot.

buy em, melt em down, pour them into bullet molds, load them into shells, fire them into nazis, win
The U.S. got jealous of Canada and had to also have a coin called a loony.

Just like everything else they are doing.
Nice to see the US got an end date
Underrated
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!
Do not accept these as legal tender.
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.
If ever I get one of these pieces of shit in my pocket change its getting a stache.

Exactly, I’m engraving it on.

Me too!
Hand it back and ask for actual currency.
Keep it and melt it down into slag. Don’t need shit like this in circulation
