A great idea. Then, when you have to spend four donalds for a carton of eggs you'll remember why voting for con-men is a bad idea.
Shhh… do you even know how easy that will be to forge? ;) ;)
Just so everyone's aware, it's super duper illegal to deface currency.
So like, it would be against the law to use a sharpie to add a Hitler mustache to Trump's face on said dollar bill; or add an arm extended in a Nazi salute; or add swastikas over 'god' where it says "In god we trust"; to then bring it to a bank and report that you received defaced currency and would like to exchange it for new bills, only to do it all again.
So... y'know, probably don't do those things.
It's more a legally gray area in the US that as far as I can find from a quick search has never been settled in court. It likely isn't worth the time for police to go after either even if it was more explicitly illegal.
That might change if there's a sudden surge in people drawing on $100 bills, but who uses $100s that often anyway? Most ATMs I used only dispense $20s. It often isn't worth the trip to the bank, and the US is unfortunately mostly cashless now.
But to be clear: fuck this fascist bullshit and resist in whatever ways you can
There's an argument we shouldn't even be issuing $100 bills in the first place. Counterfeiters have to spend money to copy money. A $1 or $5 bill isn't worth the cost. A $50 is getting there, but if you put extra anti-counterfeiting measures around it, then it's pushed out of reach again.
Once you reach a $100 bill, though, it's hard to have enough anti-counterfeiting measures while also being cheap enough to produce by the actual US Mint. Drop it entirely, and the problem goes away.
It's also illegal for a living person to be featured in our currency.

It's not illegal as long as you're not trying to get it out of circulation, advertise, or pass off one denomination as another. So deface away.

President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family," Gill told Fox News Digital. "Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime...
Didn't the bullet go through his ear and kill a firefighter?
Bullet never touched him. The blood was splatter. He wore a bandage for 2 days for show. When it came off there was not a scratch.
I work at a hospital and have worked with hundreds of patients around his age. When you're that old, your skin is like paper thin and tears extremely easy. I've slid patients from one bed to another and tore skin. Donald Trump was tackled by secret service. Maybe it was his blood but I highly doubt he took a bullet or any shrapnel from glass or anything else.
Excellent news since only dead people are permitted on $US. When's he dying? I have March 5th 2025 in the pool.
Personally, I'm hoping it falls on my birthday
Can your birthday be 10 years ago?
So....America....you guys really are about a step-and-a-half away from this?
Get your shit together. Christ.
There's already proposals to put his face on Mt Rushmore, so yes.
Man, these bootlickers are so pathetic. The lengths they go to to kiss his ass would be cringe even if it was towards an actual great person. The fact that it's directed at this hateful, disgusting man is the saddest thing...
Whatever. Go for it, cultists.
This type of shit is just noise meant to distract and overwhelm people from paying attention to the stuff that matters.
Ahh yes, Benjamin Franklin, founding father, inventor of the bifocals, lightning rod, and Franklin stove, first postmaster general, founder of the University of Pennsylvania, signed the constitution and the declaration of independence along with drafting the latter. Definitely not nearly as important to this country as Donald Trump, who is singlehandedly keeping the orange spray tan market alive.
Doesn't DJT has to die soon for that?
Imagine living in a country with the face of a felon rapist traitor on our currency.
Brought to you by dipshit conservatives.
Do you know about Andrew Jackson's behavior?
Just in case people didn't know they were heading into a personality cult dictatorship already.
This was absolutely on my 2025 bingo card along with plans for a new face on Mount Rushmore and a mountain, river, or national park being named after him.
What a massive waste of taxpayer money.
So a dollar will only be worth one pence?
Well if they do that, I'll draw at least 2 dicks pointed towards his mouth on each one that I handle
Shouldn't Trump be on the ruble?
lol .... by the time they do pass regulations and laws to do all this .... 1 Trump will be worth nothing
It will be like the German Reichsmark and they'll be printing out so much of it, that these paper bills will be more valuable as a fuel source to cook your food than in actually purchasing anything of value.
“1 Trump will be worth nothing” vs the immense value one Trump has now. lol.
"President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family," Gill told Fox News Digital. "Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime to secure our border, fix our uneven trade relationship with the rest of the world, make America energy independent again, and put America first by ending useless foreign aid."
I can’t I give up. I’m Canadian and America is fucked. There are no policies, no plans to make projects or fix problems. It’s all a campaign and political points. This is just pure trash satire at this point. URGH
We really are on the Biff Tannen timeline.
Changing U.S. law would be necessary to allow living people to appear on currency.
Or he could, ya know, die.
Idiots! Should have made a brand new $500 bill for this! Would work out a lot better with inflation. Great for buying eggs.
good way to cause a run on $50 bills when everyone refuses to accept a $100
I thought only deceased people with a positive influence on society could end up on money. The latter requirement will never happen, and the way he acts many will think it's about time the met the first requirment.
Not putting him on the $100,000 bill is slap in the face.
In the tradition of USA currency being only for dead presidents - I will gladly allow Trump's face on any bill if he's the one to pull the trigger
When he's done, that bill will be as worthless as he is.
It's all just ring-polishing stuff to openly declare fealty to him.
Same as the third term stuff.
They don't actually care if it works, only that they have proof of it to show him down the road.
Just build a temple to Trump Baal where they can make sacrifices to him.
I'd rather see George Clooney's asshole on the 100. Put this fuckers ugly face on the ruble.
That's fair. It will be used a lot, as it is about the price of a box of eggs at the end of this year.
Will that lower grocery prices?
