And this is legit at the top of the treasury dept site:
I love how the front side implies he's God. Sadly, the religious psychotics probably actually believe that (to the detriment of the religious sane).
Watch them pivot, outsource the run, apply the thinnest of gold plating and then sell $1 coins for $4,000 apiece as though they're an ounce of solid gold.
That was actually where my brain went first -- had one of his assassins been successful, he'd be eligible for coinage (look how fast JFK ended up on the half-dollar!). But he will be the first U.S. ruler to have his graven image on both sides of a coin.
I'd recommend not throwing one in a bowl of holy water. A hunk of caesium would be the safer choice.
Damn, hopefully no body makes it their mission to collect them and disfigure them
