You can have any design you want, as long as it's Trump.

Is this supposed to be for a coin or a tombstone?

rogerrogerr•1mo ago
It’s the same thing they did fifty years ago: https://www.govmint.com/20pc-1776-1976-25-cent-washington-ha...
xg15•1mo ago
Ah, that makes more sense then.
ta9000•1mo ago
As a coin collector, I’ll be passing on this one.
paulkrush•1mo ago
It does make sense for dollar coins to hit mainstream as pennies and nickels will disapper before all coins do.
euroderf•1mo ago
Nickels won't, because of quarters/dimes math. But yes, the penny tray is freed up.
dragonwriter•1mo ago
Maybe quarters also go (perhaps with half-dollars becoming more common, which, alongside dimes and dollars, would give the same first-three-steps scale as penny/nickel/dime, just shifted a decimal place.)
ProllyInfamous•1mo ago
Yes, and reduce the size of new_half_dollar to current_quarter; new_quarter to current_nickel; dime remains same size. Nix nickels and pennies. Dollars become smaller than current_half_dollar, but larger than current_quarter.
euroderf•1mo ago
If you reuse currrent form factors for larger denominations, people will exploit it.
ProllyInfamous•1mo ago
I agree — tangentally Gresham's Law [0]

>"Bad money drives out good."

Perhaps reduce denominations to bespoke sizes — but just make them smaller [2].

[0] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham%27s_law>

[2] I am among the few people who actively uses half dollar coins — they're simply too bulky for most people (I'm a fatguy so I've got enough pocketspace).

euroderf•1mo ago
The current half dollar is a rejected monster. Nickels should be too.

Shifting a decimal place works for me. Prices when I grew up up in the 60s & 70s were a fraction of today's. Penny candy WAS REAL! And the "five & dime" had stuff for, well, nickels & dimes. Not a lot, but some things. Nowadays it's dollar stores (a blight on the landscape) - their prevalence tells ya sumthin'bout the disposable income situation of many, many citizens.

throwaway81523•1mo ago
Why a $1.00 coin instead of $2.50? And OMG I had no idea that President Trump was that old.
pigeons•1mo ago
Can you put living people on US coins? I realize some people don't really care about the rules.
ProllyInfamous•1mo ago
Yes, but only with congressional approval.

Fortunately inflation is so high that these coins won't be worth much for very long. Like their obverse patron, won't be around forever.

¡¡ Happy 80th/250th !!

I've got my drill press ready, for a political art project.

I've read that after Commodus was assassinated, Rome tired to scrub his existence from history. I don't know why I'm mentioning this; it's completely unrelated.
