Yeah they won’t care, they’ll do it anyway, and then go after critics for being “unamerican” and “anti capitalist” per NSPM-7.
I was about to say, I was pretty sure that was a law, instituted to stop… oh, what was it again? Oh ya. FASCISM.
Literally, who’s going to stop them?
There’s so much stuff that’s absolutely illegal happening and nobody is stopping them. Being illegal or not is irrelevant if no one enforces it.

Oh, this one’s easy the way I understand things work now.
He is both former AND current, so fire up the mint.
God damn XOR

Amendment incoming!
So, Trump just needs to die and it will be legal?
Thank you!
Nah man, spoilers!

Then they’ll have to mint coins of Reagan.
Heard of congressional approval?
Illegal? They’ve never heard the word.
This is illegal unless he dies
Oh! Then I support this coin!
Yeah honestly at this point I want to see more unhinged shit so we can laugh at the history books.
So is him running for a third term, but his office is filled with “Trump 2028” hats.
Since when during this admin was legality considered?
Just because some part of the U.S. government ignored the law doesn’t mean the entire U.S. government ignores the law.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah. I’m sure it being illegal will stop this.
Only after he’s been dead for 2 years or more can his visage be printed on a U.S. coin.
How do we know he hasn’t been Grok in a wig this whole time?
They may be expecting that.
I’m not quite sure about this one. I think that the current design on the reverse is an issue. But the front doesn’t seem to break any laws.
I’m assuming they print these under subsection Y of 31 U.S. Code § 5112 - Denominations, specifications, and design of coins. Which pertains to these 250th anniversary coins.
The part I see mentioned in this thread frequently applies to a separate subsection (n) for a run of $1 presidential coins that has since ended.
If you just read subsection Y in a vacuum, they are good to go. This part at the bottom though says that the reverse can’t be a ‘portrait’.
So this isn’t really slam dunk illegal, but I don’t think that the draft of the coins reverse will make it to print. I would fully expect the front to come out just like that though based on my interpretation.
(aa)Standards and General Provisions for Circulating Collectible Coins Under Subsections (x), (y), and (z).—
(1)Prohibition on certain representations.—
No head and shoulders portrait or bust of any person, living or dead, and no portrait of a living person may be included in the design on the reverse of any coin under subsections (x), (y), and (z).
I don’t know much about the law, but it feels like the ‘Fight fight fight’ side is overtly party political.
If he does… I’ll happily approve of this coin.
Maybe but they do illegal things all the time and no one is a position to stop them does anything
Okay so we should all just give up then? Act like laws don’t exist? Just let him?
Obviously not. But pointing out that something is illegal is pointless unless you got a way in mind to make it matter.
I’m pointing it out so other people know about it
How about printing his face on the Epstein Files instead
His face is already all over those files!
Someone will make a press that puts epstein in there.
This is just bait for people to point out that it’s illegal to commemorate a living president.
At which point they’ll feign “oopsies” and—surprising absolutely nobody—proceed to roll out a Charlie Kirk coin.
There’s already shitloads of ads out there for privately minted Kuck rounds
What is one more felony? Perhaps someone can be found guilty and sentenced to no punishment.
Personality cult says what?
Have we ever done this with a sitting president ever? This has such “great leader” vibes.
No we haven’t because we explicitly made that illegal for that very reason
If such a coin exists ever exists, I hope all of them end up with deep scratches across the face.
Also, “Fight fight fight” sounds more like the Itchy and Scratchy theme song than some democratic saying.
Drill a hole through his head.
It makes me think of every high school football marching band, with their “fight song” BS
How about we reopen the government and release the Epstein files first?
I knew it, Steven Miller has been “Weekend-at-Bernie’s”-ing him for two years and so now he’s eligible to have his face on money
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.
Surely a 30 cent (or maybe 70 cent or some other not really believable and pretty much useless) coin value would better represent Trump.
I’d say a 47¢ coin would be perfect. Plays into his ego, impossible to do math with so no one would actually use it, and it’s a few cents short of a normal functioning thing.
A perfect match for the character of the man whose face would be on the coin!
“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.
Kings and queens have legal tender with their face on it during their tenure…
When is the official coronation of trump scheduled? 2027?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot…
