Misleading title, they’d be coins:

The bill calls on the U.S. Treasury to print 400,000 silver dollar coins with Kirk's face on them, Republican Representatives August Pfluger of Texas and Abraham Hamadeh of Arizona told Fox News. In addition to Kirk's image, the coins would include the message, "Well done, good and faithful servant." They would be minted with the year 2026 and his full name on them, according to Fox News Digital.

Also "Well done, good and faithful servant." is absolutely nauseating.

All things considered, coins make the most sense. Bills would be defaced so quickly. I was already imagining all the grotesque pen drawings over his dumb face.

You can technically still deface coins in a variety of ways, such as with a window breaking tool, and red marker. Not saying I would, of course...

Little drill hole somewhere maybe

I was just wondering how much I could sell them for if they had an actual bullet hole through them...

Might have to make me a stamp that says

"NAZI ~~GOLD~~ SILVER"

If I ever happen upon one of these, it's at the very least getting a swastika stamped into the forehead.

I assume it's just a Charlie Kirk commemorative coin?

[–] don@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

Pfluger said that "this commemorative coin will make Charlie the youngest American ever immortalized on legal U.S. currency, a fitting honor that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and founding fathers who shaped our republic."

It would seem so.
