I love how it’s illegal, but nobody’s gonna stop him. By far not the worst illegal thing he’s done, though. Not even the worst legal thing he’s done.
Why’s it illegal? Do your dollars need to be paper by law?
i think there’s a law that living people can’t be depicted on US currency
Ah. He could slip around that one pretty easy by dying
No, there was, in 1866, a federal law passed that living people could not be featured on paper currency, and in 2005 they added another law saying living people could not be featured on coin currency. Some people have gotten around the law by saying they’re commemorative coins, so not really currency, therefore okay. Except Trump’s is going to be legal tender. Supposedly his argument is that in 2020 they said they were going to make a special 250yr coin that could feature something emblematic of the founding of the country. In 2026 the head of the treasury or mint (I don’t remember which) who is one of Trump’s guys said nothing is more emblematic of our great nation than sitting president Donald J Trump. Mans has to have his face and name on everything…
That’s kind of a silly law anyway.
Supposedly it’s because we don’t want to give the impression that we have kings or dictators. Because apparently having your face on a coin is what makes you a king/dictator.
It was generally how coins got stamped by either but it’s not like…something that makes you a king or dictator if you do it. It just kinda made sense at the time to have the head of state that the money is for on the money. I guess we dont have anyone living on our money anymore. But that only happened when Queen Elizabeth died and I think we’re just waiting out this guy before changing the money to the next British royalty. The other side of our money has cool animals most of the time instead of weird illumati looking shit, that’s kinda neat.
Our money has the head of the king on the one side and some weird assembly of squares that is supposedly meant to symbolise the royal palace compound on the other side. It is somehow both butt-ugly and boring as hell.
This is what currency is supposed to look like
So you know athena approves of your grind
It’s a subtle message to tell us he is dead.
is he wrong though?
trump is the most american president and i mean that as an insult
