U.S. Mint begins sales of Trump $1 coins
Kings and Emperors put their faces on coins, Presidents do not. Today is also the anniversary of the Battle of Actium, the day the Roman republic died. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Paranoid Hemorrhoid8I looked up the reasons for the fall of the Roman empire: -Concentration of wealth -Military became loyal to individual generals -Political violence became normalized -Economic deterioration and debt What were they thinking?
Why would Anyone pay more than a dollar for a Fake gold Dollar coin!? Especially with that evil Person on it.
John F Wu2Given the law that living presidents cannot be featured on real currency, can these coins be later voided in court?
francoisgodard.bsky.social2Isn’t that illegal? Just kidding, it doesn’t matter anymore
BearPondBoy 🧿1It’ll be a cold day in hell when I knowingly come within 50 feet of this bullshit.
Matthew R Francis101again, I appreciate that his glowering face is surrounded by the message that liberty died in 2026
National Security Counselors 🕵23Given what a shitshow this year has been, I'm almost tempted to say, yeah his face is fairly emblematic of it all.
Real Phil Braun15“I’ll take $25 worth of coins for $61 please!”
Stan Dalone3You can easily deface these with a dremel. If you don’t have one, you can do a pretty good job with a claw hammer and a flat tip screwdriver. They’ll still work in the soda machine if you’re careful.
Democrats need to tear this monument to his ego along with all the other ones. It's so fucking disgraceful they should make it a campaign issue; promise that a Democratic Congress will enforce the law and these stupid trinkets won't count as US currency. Buyer beware in other words.
diaperingdad.bsky.social3Beginning January 20, 2029, it should have all the legal purchasing power of a carnival token.
Brian Wetjen3"We will pass a law that states any currency minted with the name, image, or likeness of a living person on it is not and never will be considered legal tender under any circumstances."
Ceiling Cat1Especially since he keeps using his booking mug shot where he does the Hitler stare as his signature pose. It's a flex that he knows infuriates liberals.
Offensive. Today, for the first time in the country's history, there is U.S. currency with the sitting president depicted solo.
Brendan Keyport14Sign's already up in my shop. "No $1 coins accepted"
Katie13This is one of those "imagine if Obama did it" moments
Dawn Alene9His face resembles a rotting pumpkin
Joseph Britt7We’re in one of those moments of free fall, in which a number of situations we already knew were bad either are or seem about to be much worse.
Lynn Sacco5impossible not to believe that he has 'licensed' his image to us and will reap 99 cents of every dollar.
Lois Weiner3Trump's choice of the $1 coin is fitting. Don't you hate them? The coin is deeply unpopular - as he is. thedailyeconomy.org/article/the-...
David Mack16Completely illegal. Every piece of this abominable minting needs to be declared invalid the moment we get the Orange Despot out of power, and every piece needs to be melted down and destroyed.
Neil Flanagan 🧱🗃️7Constitutional atrocity aside, that is a really badly sculpted coin.
James Goodwin6Impeachable behavior. Contradicts every syllable of his oath of office.
Stephen West5maybe he got the new wig/weave/whatever-it-is to match the coin?
Andy Snyder4I haven’t used cash in literal years, but if I ever come across one of these:
BillieB2If I find one of these in my "pocket change" I swear I will haunt the person who passed it to me until the end of time and beyond.
Dr. Zil Roars (Paul H. White, Ph.D.)2#IsThisYourKing1 I cannot get my #Tubman20, but this is available? #WorkingToFix2026
Markets up on news of new Trump coin from US Mint.
Pitchbot Reply Guy7Put the newly minted Trump coin, the various Trump family crypto meme coins, and the entire bond market on the blockchain. by Andrew Yang
Thomas Friedman Pitchbot2The radical centrist case for megalomania
Sacha Prins2Trump dollar worth $2.40 It’s a miracle
zobear.bsky.social1Soon: Markets up on news of Trump deal with Iran
No War But Class War1The US Mint or the Franklin Mint?
"Deal of the century right here folks," wrote Sam Stein. "You can purchase 25, $1 Trump coins for the price of.... $61." "I like that this design appears to show the birth date of liberty as 1776, and its death as 2026," @crampell.bsky.social quipped. www.rawstory.com/trump-coin-2...
Jeff Lazarus6Trump's pathological need to put his name on everything should be studied and put in abnormal psych textbooks.
The Smokin Grasshopper 🦗🍃5Heads or tails ? 🤢🤮
sunnyjim.bsky.social4“Made of pure 47K fool’s gold!”
Maxine Breuer1They might as well come right out and say it: Rest in peace, beloved republic.
laura bishop1There used to be no respect or honor here. Just cheap metaphorical brass from a cheap honorless man who occupies the WH, he doesn’t deserve.
Stampedehero1Buy one for target shooting 🎯
Please observe that Trump's face on this coin looks like Trump's official second term portrait looks like the mugshot I was told over and over again would hurt Trump in the 2024 election The party that made this mistake is absolutely sure they can court right-wing voters by moving to the center
Laura Jedeed108I'm not saying everyone has to understand the mugshot thing on a gut level, but I do think if you don't understand why the mugshot helped Trump instead of hurting him you should probably not get paid for your opinion anymore
Coup Otter4a few weeks before the election, walking to the corner grocery store, i spotted an old chud shouting at his friend (i assume) about "getting out" of the neighborhood. he was wearing an "I'M VOTING FOR THE CONVICTED FELON" t-shirt featuring the mugshot. and that's why i'm leaving Middle Village.
manul neko3I assumed they did it on purpose because it makes him look ‘tough.’
Trevor Foster2Also observe that his nose looks distorted & pushed inward with the quality that makes arcade tokens look like premium currency.
Accountabilabuddy🔻2All I see is scrap metal begging to be made into something more useful.
Chris McKercher2That’s his tough guy face, or so he thinks.
Jay Thurber Show27I've told this story before, but I once worked for a tech-bro doofus whose official portrait also looked like this. "Send it to my grad students, I want to look mean," he said. He was in the audience July 15 when Trump spoke at the Army War College. It's a whole thing with these dummies
H.E. Cas Piancey7Oh, the US Mint is cooked lol
Carly J Dubois 🦋3For all we know he was given as many opportunities as he wanted to get it just the way he wanted it for future payoffs the day he was booked.
The US Mint is now selling a Trump coin. Totally normal.
Trying to think of the one thing presidents on money, according to tradition, all have in common... abcnews.com/Politics/tru...
heishalley.bsky.social6We have a legitimate loon. You have an illegitimate one. Great yet MAGAt? 💪🇨🇦❤️
arch-villein3even if he were dead, he does not deserve it. Germany does not put Hitler on their money
Dan Bongard3Honestly, I have a hard time getting upset about this. If he'd put his face paper money that'd be one thing, but nobody uses dollar coins. They're outdated, pointless and extremely irritating, and Donald Trump is the perfect person to be on them.
RaeAnnSAG2Well… trump is dead to me right now.
Beel1The new Clu Gulager coin looks great!
delovelly.bsky.social1I need to find some so I can use my Dremel to draw penises on his face
The new $1 coin with President Trump's face, gold-colored but struck from base metal, sells in 25-coin rolls for $61 and 100-coin bags for $154.50 as part of the U.S. Mint's series marking America's 250th birthday. The dollars are also in circulation.
Hutch-e68Now Canada and USA both feature a loon on their $1 coin.
Trevor Foster10His nose looks like it's been pushed in. It's a bad design even by arcade token standards.
Crow mango8"...gold-colored but struck from base metal..." This says it all right here.
Al Petterson8LIBERTY 1776-2026. Like a tombstone.
effyouceekaymaga.bsky.social4This is illegal. Why are we allowing illegal shit from this admin? They pull expensive stunts like this and cry there's no money for kids. They pull expensive stunts like this so they can see just how much CRIME we will tolerate. It seems like we tolerate a lot.
FritzcoKid4RIP America 🇺🇸 1776-2026 We had a good run
G. Willow Wilson447"Gold-colored but struck from base metal" sounds like a sick Shakespearean burn
The Nerdskull86Everyone involved in this needs to go to jail, including Trump. It is flatly illegal.
Nash56So there's no actual gold involved, making it functionally worth no more or less than any other coin we use as currency.
David A. Scott41Our dollar coins have gone from Sacagawea to Sackashit.
ResJudicata2211Pursuant to 31 U.S. Code (USC) § 5114, federal law explicitly states that "only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities". As is usual and customary for **FELOUTUS, this is an illegal act.
Adrienne8Not that it matters, but this is one more in a long litany of things that are completely illegal. (US law says you can't put pictures of people who aren't dead on currency.)
KevFun Newburn RCCC I-098Did they use his mugshot??
Samira Ahmed5Gold-colored but struck from base metal is so America.
Relevant Ferret If Known5Lmfao you have to buy them in stacks, what a fucking racket.
Zach Hurst3This is the face a toddler gives you when they shat their diaper.
The U.S. Mint is selling rolls and bags of its new Trump $1 coin starting Wednesday.
DeepDiveCinema7The same dudes who collect Nazi memorabilia will buy this garbage.
RobertCalifornia816@bsky.social6Love how you report this like it’s not BAT SHIT INSANE
oldandslow.bsky.social6Shoutout to the engravers that preserved his disfigured, cross-eyed visage.
BrighterDaysAhead4Where is the profit going?
Dana Mello4LOL it looks like AI slop 😂😂
vietvet66.bsky.social3Why and the fuck would anyone buy a $1 dollar coin for over $2?!? You’re losing money on that transaction and it will never be worth more than $1!WTF?
