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

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 😟

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

$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.

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

They learned to charge more after they accidentally "sold" coins at face value and people just bought them for credit card rewards.

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

"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!
If ever I get one of these pieces of shit in my pocket change its getting a stache.

man, this "man's" penis (ugh, that put awful thoughts into my head) must be microscopic, given how much he plasters his name/face on everything.
also, isn't that the mugshot photo from when he turned himself into jail??
- Buy them, wait til they are no longer purchasable, then resell them at a massive markup to degen MAGAs.
- ???
- Profit
You assume the demographic stupid enough to want them has money.
A monument to the law not applying to Trump and his cronies
Ewww
Another grift for the homeschooled morons who fell for the last one. They'll be buying these coins for above face value, thinking they've got some kind of heirloom.
A hundred years from now they'll have a value, as American Nazi memorabilia. There is always a value in old coinage and relics.
This stupid shit reminds me of his first term with then treasury secretary Mnunchin and his wife holding the giant sheet of money…attention seeking whores.
Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin, wife cause internet sensation posing with sheets of money
lol the pics
And the guy in the background. Wonder what's going through his head. Probably sth like "oh shit, they're not supposed to do that"
Yah that shit was wild when that happened and we thought then that was batshit crazy…lol and behold, welcome to 2026.
