How much will that cost the taxpayers?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

Their pride.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

I mean...not much at all. A redesign & print, then just business as usual. It's not like we're going to stop printing hundreds.

Now we're finally killing the penny (yay), and I would even argue hell, let's get rid of the nickel, too. I know there will be a little pain involved, but especially post/mid crazy inflation....my god. WHAT is the purchasing power of a goddamn penny or nickel?? I mean who are we kidding with this nonsense, minting coins with no real value?? Junk.

Not putting him on the $100,000 bill is slap in the face.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

the way trumpflation is going it'll be worth $100 anyway

Man, these bootlickers are so pathetic. The lengths they go to to kiss his ass would be cringe even if it was towards an actual great person. The fact that it's directed at this hateful, disgusting man is the saddest thing...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

I've never wiped my ass with a hundred before but in this case I'm willing to try it.

Just in case people didn't know they were heading into a personality cult dictatorship already.

In the tradition of USA currency being only for dead presidents - I will gladly allow Trump's face on any bill if he's the one to pull the trigger

As a Brit, for whom the colloquial for pennies is "pence" like "ten pence" is 10p, I feel he's missing a trick not putting his fat leather apron of a face on the nickel or dime. Because then you could have "Trump pence". You could call it a Trumpence

[–] [email protected] 15 points 14 hours ago

That is pretty clever. Except it would already be dated since Trump attempted to get Pence lynched by an angry mob a few years back

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

Right, well, Trump & Pence haven't been on great terms since 2020. So I don't think he'd appreciate the Trump-pence coin. You're clever, though, never thought of that.

Doesn't DJT has to die soon for that?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

lol .... by the time they do pass regulations and laws to do all this .... 1 Trump will be worth nothing

It will be like the German Reichsmark and they'll be printing out so much of it, that these paper bills will be more valuable as a fuel source to cook your food than in actually purchasing anything of value.

“1 Trump will be worth nothing” vs the immense value one Trump has now. lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family…”

You mean like… exactly what he’s doing now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Looks like I'll be buying American toilet paper after all! 😒

[–] [email protected] 19 points 18 hours ago

Will that lower grocery prices?

Why not have two genocidal maniacs on our currency at this point.
