Federal law prohibits putting any living people on U.S. coins.
“As America commemorates 250 years of independence, the US Mint will begin striking this new $1 gold coin to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote Wednesday morning. “Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all.”
This move is technically illegal, as 31 U.S. Code § 5112 proclaims that no coin shall “bear the image of a living former or current President,” until at least two years after their death. The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 also holds that living people cannot appear on the back of a coin. The Trump administration is trying to skirt those laws by arguing that the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act allows the president to create memorial coins to celebrate America’s 250th.
A Treasury Department spokesperson told Axios the coin is already being made and will be released this fall.

It’s tradition to place a past hero on currency to honor them. This reeks of insecurity and desperation to be remembered as anything other than a pedo.
He’s so desperate.
Leaders are remembered for the good or bad they do. He objectively hasn’t done any good, so he’s just going to be remembered as a felon rapist pedophile. That’s his legacy and there’s nothing he can do to change that.
There’s a reason why Google made search shitty without LLMs, it’s to control information. Once you have that control, who’s to say he didn’t ever take a shit or piss, or ever golfed without always hitting a hole in one?
It’s not just tradition. It’s illegal.
(Edit: The legality, or lack thereof, is covered in the body text. I’m just saying. Tradition doesn’t enter into it here.)
We had Bitcoin, now we have pedocoin
Already have pedocoin: https://tr.okx.com/en/price/pedocoin-pedocoin
Now we know where to look when we want to piss on his face. Give new meaning to “golden shower”.
If they delay releasing the coin until he’s been dead 2 years, we could see it released in July 2028 if we’re very lucky.
I hope he chokes on the coin and asphyxiates while people stand around and just watch.
But sadly the universe seems to want to give us the shittiest version of itself by allowing this asshole to continue living.
This is some Caligula level shit that has nothing to do with liberty or American values.
You know what? Fuck it. Just rename everything after him.
US Dollar = A Trumpie
USA? Not anymore fucker its the Trump Trump of Trumps.
Think you live in New York? Nope. We just renamed it New Trump.
Want to Visit Yellowstone? Dont you mean Trumpstone?
It says so right here in the Trumpstitution and the Trumplaration of Trumpdependence you libtard, get a brain u morans
Thanks I fuckin hate it.
First part made me chortle
In Canada, they call their one dollar coin a loonie as a tribute to the figure on the coin. We’d have to spell it a bit differently, but the US should do the same thing for the same reason.
Let’s just call it a “pedo”.
The pedollar

…it is a federal crime to deface currency…
do i need to add a /s to this, fuck…
Only with fraudulent intent, like trying to pass it off as a higher denomination. Artistic modifications are perfectly legal, or those penny crank machines would be illegal.
it is a federal crime to deface currency
its a crime to deface the flag too, but that doesnt stop the cops doing it with their fascist blue line flags.
Its always the Donvict Stare they choose to put on everything. It mirrors that ridiculous architecture from Mussolini’s HQ.
Celebrating pedophiles by putting its face on everything. America is fucking gross.
Yeah because America wants this.
Very honest and nuanced read of the situation, very well done.
America voted for it.
It’s not like he was hiding his true self until after he was elected. It was all on the table. We even had him as president once already. And America voted for it again.
This is America.
Compared to a shithead cop who didn’t win a primary. Context matters, of course - especially with statements lacking nuance
Compared to a
… Someone who fucking wasn’t trump.
I cant believe this is a hard concept to get. Ignoring the fact that she had a clear record as a prosecutor - not a cop, if you still need to hate them - and of community leadership, of course, but that seems to have been lost when you were convinced somehow that she wasn’t the least-worse option
OUT
OF
TWO.
Like, my dog can choose between ‘cookie’ and ‘no cookie’, but you struggle with his one. Really?
I share your frustration. No fucking shit - anyone here with a brain was shocked. You don’t think we’ven been living the nightmare you’re describing? How fucking dense must you be to think that brow beating someone on your same side could do any good?
We are in agreement - it’s shocking and horrible that he won, even compared to an astoundingly shitty choice
Im not seeing people disposing him and his Junta. So yeah, USA sure isnt not wanting it strong enough
Yeah, the people who love guns are also the timid weirdos who love to lick boot. So a percentage of us want this very badly, that’s for sure.
But I’m not getting shot for this by myself on a cold Tuesday morning. Any other ideas? I’m open to literally any of them
Yeah, they do
They vote these lunatics in, repeatedly. This one is there because the people put him there
It is nuanced; the problem is a lack of responsibility and an unwillingness to take that responsibility on behalf of the US, not a lack of nuance from observers outside.
Take some fucking responsibility.
For voting against fascism? Then fine I take full responsibility
I’m sure you do for your own vote.
The struggle is the country taking responsibility for its collective selfishness, then expecting individual understanding from those outside which Americans don’t offer themselves.
Illegal.
Not that it matters in this unlawful shithole.
I would destroy every one of these I came across. It’s just a dollar. They’ll end up becoming a rarity. Like collecting Nazi paraphernalia.
Scratch the face up (think: sidewalks and other rough concrete) and swap it at the bank for paper.
… In theory…
Well Canada has its 1$ Loonie, so America will replace its Sacajaweas (which replaced SusieBs?) in subway change with this loser’s face?
Given he’s a two-bit con-man, I woulda thought he’d be on the quarter.
Brainstorming lightning round: Call it the queso peso. Bucktard? Cheetoken? Pedollar? Chump change?
Yep. Call them Chumps.
Get a small tool steel stamp made with whatever phrase you would like to stamp everyone you come across.
I was thinking about using an engraving pen to etch PEDO across Trump’s face. I would be fine with putting those back out into circulation.
Federal law prohibits putting any living people on U.S. coins.
But not putting coins inside living people…
Someone call Magneto.
Or Kelsier. I’ve heard he really doesn’t like rich people.
Wait, that’s illegal
So is sodomizing pre-teen girls and burying their room-temperature corpse on your golf course.
Get in line mate.
shouldn’t it be a $13 coin, so it matches his preferred age of victim?
