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

I hate this timeline.
The good news is this is illegal.
The bad news is Republicans probably don't care.
Explain more
31 U.S. Code 5112 says “No coin issued may bear the image of a living former or current President,”
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.
Amendment incoming!
Thank you!

This is illegal unless he dies
So is him running for a third term, but his office is filled with “Trump 2028” hats.
Only after he's been dead for 2 years or more can his visage be printed on a U.S. coin.

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
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.

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.

Great idea .... no better way to celebrate how stupid this country has become than by sharing another dumb image of this idiot.
"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.
not a cult!
[...] it was long-standing tradition to only feature portraits of deceased individuals on currency and coin.
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.

I know one way this wouldn't be a thing...
What is the most orange alloy? Copper gold? They should make it out of that.
I will literally throw any coins with that dipsticks face on it in the trash...
