I like how it says liberty was born in 1776 and died in 2026

    Legal, illegal. What does it matter. As long as there's no meaningful punishment for it everything is legal. In a highly centralized state or government. Legal is what they allow the peasants to get away with. Legal has no relationship to the standards they hold themselves to.

    take a pair of ordinary pliers & bend the coins in half whenever someone hands you one, then politely hand the mangled coin back with a smiling “No, thank you!”

    Depending on how many someone buys, they are losing between $0.55 and $1.44 every time they spend one.

    Could it be more Trumpian? LOL.

    $154.50 for 100 - $1.545 each.
    $61 for 25 - $2.44 each.

    It's just another way to "own the libs" from the same people that would let tiny-d donnie take a shit in their mouth if they thought a liberal would have to smell it.

    They'll punch themselves right in their own dicks if they think it would annoy a liberal somewhere.

    Instead of pesos, they're called pedos.

    It's just another grift from the Pedo-in-Chief.

    They're sold at above face value, so at least they're unlikely to circulate.

    The kind of person who would buy these would also circulate them to somehow "own the libs"

    I guess it would work. If one came into my possession I'd spend extra money to dissolve it.

    If someone tries to pay me with this, I simply will not accept it.

    Legal and trump are diametrically opposed

    Does it matter if they’re legal? Legality only matters if you respect laws.

    Hopefully soon they'll all be melted down and made into urinals or something more fitting.

    They'll be great starters for Hobo coins.

    begins? i've seen these in "antique" stores and estate sales from people whose grands got bilked, trying to get a fraction of what they paid or maybe face value. i have ideas for recasting, but i ain't a sculptor.

    first one i distinctly recall seeing was june this year (they were asking 11/coin for the set or 75 cents each for a single. it'd been a week and no takers. not surprising for a small liberal west coast beach community. i told them they should list the metal content on a sign and drop the price to 60 cents a coin, they'd be gone in a day (i have a small amount of experience in secondhand stores))

    i don't know if vending machines will take them. i'd be surprised if they do.
