"FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT"

Sounds like inciting violence to me.

Given that it doesn't meet the legal requirements for currency but they would be passing it off as real money, it sounds more like counterfeiting to me. One more charge to add to the list.

How about we reopen the government and release the Epstein files first?

NO living person should be commemorated on a coin, regardless of political ideology.

Hopefully, this abomination will go over about as well as the Sacajawea dollar coin.

I loved those coins. Super easy to use in vending machines that could take them. Way better than fucking around with an old paper dollar.

Great idea .... no better way to celebrate how stupid this country has become than by sharing another dumb image of this idiot.

That tradition became law with an 1866 Act of Congress

Does the treasury department know something that we don't about events that may or may not happen before the anniversary?

So... how easy would these be to load in a shotgun?

Asking for a friend. Who appreciates irony.

What is the most orange alloy? Copper gold? They should make it out of that.

I know one way this wouldn't be a thing...

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I will literally throw any coins with that dipsticks face on it in the trash...

Anyone remember when Americans were up in arms because Clinton wanted his face on the 20?
