Thoughts on Treasury Department considering mintinag a Trump coin?

[Cubus]

The Treasury Department is considering producing a one-dollar coin featuring President Donald Trump to commemorate the 250th anniversary of U. S. independence next year, a spokesperson confirmed on Friday.

“Despite the radical left’s forced shutdown of our government, the facts are clear: Under the historic leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our nation is entering its 250th anniversary stronger, more prosperous, and better than ever before,” a Treasury Department spokesperson said in a statement. “While a final $1 dollar coin design has not yet been selected to commemorate the United States’ semiquincentennial, this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles.”

Congress in 2020 passed bipartisan legislation, signed by Trump during his first term, that authorizes the Treasury Secretary to issue one-dollar coins during the 2026 calendar year. The design of those coins must be “emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial.”

Considering it has been a long-standing rule to not mint the portrait of any living person on the US coin, including an act that Trump himself signed in his first term, it speaks volumes of Republicans hypocrisy and disdain for tradition that they are even suggesting this.

That would be historic. In the past people have to be dead before they get on money.

I do not support putting the likeness of any living person on coins or currency.
