According to the United States Code, which has a special section for commemorative coins: “No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President.”

any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President
we’re still in time for a trump coin in 2027, though, and in this way it wouldn’t need to have an engraving of a failed assassination on the back
OMG! Does Treasury Secretary Bessent know something is going happening to the president to allow the law, as it stands today, legally to put trump on a coin?! Shouldn’t the Secret Service be talking to Bessent?
Ew

Its also illegal to rape people - including children.
But who is the current president?
Well if trump dies within the next year then he can get all the commemorative coins and statues and memorials that he so badly wants. He just can’t visit them, physically…
Even the Nazis never put Hitler on a coin, and they were in power issuing ‘reichsmarks’ with swastikas on them for ~13 years, supposedly Hitler said he should not appear on coins until they had won the war.
So this is real ‘glorious leader’ energy akin to North Korea.
even north korean money doesn’t have images of the currently living glorious leader on them
Fucking hell I’m in a world where Hitler was demonstrably less of an egomaniac than the president of the United States
I am guessing it is because he actually participated in warfare with his own flesh. That sort of thing makes it clear what happens if things go badly. The likes of Trump never truly experienced the possibility of dying horribly.*
That is probably a good thing in our situation: however aggressive they may be, MAGATs are not hardened by suffering and mutual bloodshed. In a war, it will be easier to break their spirit. Unlike minorities, they haven’t undergone genuine abuse. Be it black, autistic, or trans, the good guys knows what it means to lose to fascists, because they had to live with evil people who tried to strip away their humanity.
*That assassination attempt probably didn’t really register. I have the impression that age has made Trump’s brain into a soup that cannot learn.
My guess is that he’s saying this to suck up to Trump, even though he knows he can’t do it. And that Trump Inc will make “commemorative” coins and sell them at inflated prices to MAGA idiots who will believe they’re real coins and try to spend them sometime in the future.
Turn them into arrow heads and send them back
Gonna be so much defacing of these things…
“How soon can you get these out to the public?”
“With some luck, should be able to start circulation in two years”
proper title
Guess I’ll need to get an engraver so I can add lil swastikas and Hitler mustaches.
That would be a nice thing to do. And beyond the cost of the engraver, it could be free almost. Just buy the coins modify them and uae them as part of your normal spending to get them back into circulation.
It worked for Where’s George. Coins don’t have serial numbers, though. There must be some way to put a unique identifier on each coin to gamify the fun
They are SO goddamn dumb. His supporters I mean.
I’m sure they’ll be cheaply made so I could drill a hole in them and use them as washers. At least they’ll be useful then.
Looks like gold plated but knowing this grifter it’d be cheap yellow paint that’ll flake off.
