    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

    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 😟

    $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.

    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

    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. 🤮

    "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!

    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??

    2. ???
    3. Profit

    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.
