Ready for the 1 Dollar Trump Coin?

[Billiejeens]

It’s against US law to display the image of a sitting president or living former president. A president may be featured on a coin no sooner than two years following the president’s death.

“No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President,” according to the US code governing coin design.


In anticipation of America’s 250th anniversary, Congress passed the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act, which allows the US Treasury to mint special $1 coins to celebrate the event. The act states that the Treasury secretary may “mint for issuance during the one-year period beginning January 1, 2026, $1 dollar coins with designs emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial.”

Of course they did, spineless traitors.

It's a new golden age, mother ******.

The Carly Simon song comes to mind....You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you....


Is he planning on dying?

He has to be dead, two years before being minted on a coin.

His face on the back, with his political slogan of fight fight fight serves no purpose but political.

You poor thing.

 

[Billiejeens]

I wonder how many of you would gladly blow Trump if given the chance.

Why do you wonder that?

 

[Billiejeens]

what about declairing sainthood for Saint Donald?

Makes sense actually
Thank you.

 

[Billiejeens]

There others who be a much better choice and at the same time represent the country, what it stands for, and its people in a fashion that would be more meaningful.

No chance

Render unto Ceaser that which is Ceasar's. An obvious commemorative coin well deserved.:

It's unclear if the draft images will go into production.
From Steve Guest/X






A portrait of President Donald Trump may be featured on a commemorative $1 coin issued by the United States Mint in honor of America’s 250th birthday in 2026, according to first drafts of the images confirmed by the US Treasury.

“No fake news here,” US Treasurer Brandon Beach post on X in response to images of the coin on X. “These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and @POTUS are real. Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.”

The draft images show Trump’s side profile on the front with “Liberty” at the top, “In God we Trust” on the bottom and the dates 1776 and 2026. On the reverse is the famous image of Trump raising his fist after the Bulter, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt, with the words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” at the top and an American flag billowing behind his head.

For FASCISM and corruption.

 

[candycorn]

Just how is Trump "emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial?”

He's almost as old as the nation...and is deteriorating rapidly; just like the nation.

For FASCISM and corruption.

She teed it up and and you put it through the uprights.

Let me see a real what it will look like for real. But yes I will be getting some of them.

Why do you wonder that?

That’s right. I misspoke. I KNOW you idiots would happily blow him given the chance.

I wouldn't buy physical gold or silver for anything beyond novelty. When was the last time you saw anyone purchase anything with gold---or silver for that matter. I do think investing in gold through an investment house is a good idea. Then you don't have to worry about the dealer's fee or the authenticity of what you are buying but you still get to ride the wave of increasing value. My goodness, no one can dispute that the gold has been a great investment over the past five or so years.

You're a good poster and I trust your intelligence.

In the meantime, my metal holdings earned me a couple thousand dollars as I slept last night.

And the growth of my metal earnings have paid for many significant home improvements in the past year.

I believe that, when the "dollar" fails, people will learn how to use metals out of necessity. What other currency will there be?

A friend painted my house a couple months ago, and quoted me a price of $2500. It was such a low price, and he did such a good job, painting my entire exterior with a brush, that I decided to give him an extra $500 over his quote. With the $500 he spent on paint and a few tools, that would have added up to $3500, which is where an ounce of gold was at that time. So I offered an ounce of gold. I mainly just wanted the experience of making a sizeable transaction in the specie our forefathers would have used.

He had never thought about getting metals, and carefully considered the offer, and turned it down, and since has been watching the price of gold, seeing that today he would have been $400 richer if he'd taken the gold.

He does a lot of work for me, and I think I'll offer to pay for a smaller job in metal, and I believe he will take the metal, now that he's had more experience with watching what the metals market does.

Several years ago, I saw a couple of videos about merchants who had learned how to transact their business in junk silver, which is by weight, rather than by face value, and I believe that our society could do that when the "dollar" fails.

Precious metals have been "money" for thousands of years and how many fiat currencies have failed in that time?

Every coin that is commissioned through congress must follow these guidelines. As long as they fall in line with the basics everything is fine. However, EVERY new design goes through an approval process. The bill you referenced is for that particular issue ONLY.

31 U.S. Code § 5112 - Denominations, specifications, and design of coins

www.law.cornell.edu

Right, but that does not apply to this coin.

31 USC 5112 says....

"Limitation in series to deceased presidents.—
No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President."

The subsection is "Redesign and Issuance of Circulating $1 Coins Honoring Each of the Presidents of the United States.—"

The Trump coin is not his presidential coin; it is the $1 semiquincentennial coin.

^This does not apply to the Trump coin.

Similarly, 31 USC 5114 says...
"Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities."

The Trump coin is commemorative. It is not currency or securities.

^This does not apply to the Trump coin.

It seems to me that all the fact checks everywhere are wrong, and only JGalt got it right.

Well, we certainly don’t have one now, unless your destination is ‘over the cliff’.

 

[hadit]

Those Trump images on both sides of the coin are totally void of any image of the US or it's people. A real US coin should never be allowed to be all about dictator Trump.

Good thing we don't have any of those around, they sound scary.
