As a Brit, for whom the colloquial for pennies is “pence” like “ten pence” is 10p, I feel he’s missing a trick not putting his fat leather apron of a face on the nickel or dime. Because then you could have “Trump pence”. You could call it a Trumpence
Right, well, Trump & Pence haven’t been on great terms since 2020. So I don’t think he’d appreciate the Trump-pence coin. You’re clever, though, never thought of that.

I’m not surprised. Honestly I had wondered why he hasn’t already tried this.
He also wants to be on mt rushmore. Which from what I hear, the mountain wouldn’t be able to support a 5th head, or a makeover of one of the 4.
So if they try, the whole thing will crumble. So go ahead. Just try. I’d love to see that whole monument crumble, and even better if it’s just to try to satisfy one persons ego.
Aye let it crumble and give it back to the natives it was stolen from.
Well…I mean they’re dead. That happened hundreds of years ago.
How much will that cost the taxpayers?
Their pride.
I mean…not much at all. A redesign & print, then just business as usual. It’s not like we’re going to stop printing hundreds.
Now we’re finally killing the penny (yay), and I would even argue hell, let’s get rid of the nickel, too. I know there will be a little pain involved, but especially post/mid crazy inflation…my god. WHAT is the purchasing power of a goddamn penny or nickel?? I mean who are we kidding with this nonsense, minting coins with no real value?? Junk.
Not as much as you might expect, but that’s beside the point.
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.
What this guy said^^ focus on the real issues and watch out for the other sleight of hand cause in the end that’s all it is. They want us bickering with each other while closed door deals are being finalized
Yeah, they’ve been pretty explicit in wanting to “flood the zone” with new shit everyday to annoy and outrage us, and so that the media doesn’t have enough time to cover in depth what’s really going on.
All of this stuff like “Gulf of America”, “Red White and Blueland”, adding Trump’s face to Mt. Rushmore, putting Trump’s face on the $100, etc. It’s all a bunch of look-at-the-birdy bullshit.
good way to cause a run on $50 bills when everyone refuses to accept a $100
Don’t you have to be dead to be on currency? If so he can be on any bill he wants long as he is dead.
“President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family…”
You mean like… exactly what he’s doing now?
When he’s done, that bill will be as worthless as he is.
Less than worthless, my boy.
Yeah, this seems like bad timing since it looks like the recession formally started today.
Not technically yet, but effectively.

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.
(note: I am not a lawyer, do not believe some random person on the internet)
I used to get offended by defaced & graffitied currency, but then an older family friend pointed out that these people print it off like crazy. At our expense. And tax-rape the ever-loving fuck out of us, for everything. And proceed to waste OUR money they stole on random bullshit and ruin our lives. So maybe I shouldn’t take currency so seriously.
I still don’t do it, but I thought he made some really good points.
Sidenote: I spent a couple of years working in Nigeria. Almost all bank notes there had some scribble on it, as it frequently doubled as note paper. When you don’t have Post-its, cash will do, I guess.
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.
Sorry, I’m gonna be that person… The US Mint makes coins, not the paper money. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is responsible for printing, among other things, the paper money.
There was a very good reason for it back when physical money was more necessary. Now, there’s essentially no purpose except crime. Almost all purchases are payed cashless. If you really want to use cash, almost no transactions are prohibitive just using $20s or $50s. Maybe buying a car or house would be tough, and I’m sure someone does that with cash, but that’d just be the cost of choosing to use cash.
Considering that DOGE can likely withdraw money from bank accounts at will, relying on cash seems very legitimate. I don’t want my life savings to just vanish because Musk felt like it. Or worse, replaced it with Muskcoin in a offer that no one can refuse.

It’s also illegal for a living person to be featured in our currency.

At this rate he might do it himself.
it’s super duper illegal to deface currency.
Um, no. It’s not.

We’re a long way from “super duper illegal” now aren’t we? Intent is everything. If you’re not attempting fraud nobody will care.

You ever see one of those souvenir penny stamp machines? It’s simply not illegal depending on your intent. People often think “intent” is just some weird “technicality” but it’s part of the law.
Removed by mod
the conversation is about defacing paper bills if they decide to soil them with Trump’s traitorous image.
Which is not at all illegal by any standard you’ve provided yet.
