and the reverse will feature tsf's butt (making it suitable as a mezuzah for magats to superglue to the doorframes of their outhouses).

These coins have a copper core clad by manganese brass, giving them a distinctive golden color. The coin features an obverse designed by Glenna Goodacre of Sacagawea, the Shoshone guide of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, carrying her child. From 2000 to 2008, the reverse featured an eagle design by Thomas D. Rogers. Since 2009, the reverse of the Sacagawea dollar has been changed yearly, with each design in the series depicting a different aspect of Native American cultures. These coins are marketed as "Native American dollars".

I doubt that too many Maggats have the spare change to fill their coookie jars with these things.

“Sure, we’re sleeping under bridges now, but we have ten Trumpcoins!”

Want to see TSF at the WH…insert 2 tokens. 10 minutes into the meeting, the PA will announce “please insert another token for another 8 minutes”. Just like dropping coins in a pay phone.

Not too many country bumpkin or suburban Missouri Trumpanzees will be stopping by D. C. For the privilege.

Something else that Trump’s Fine Farts commission seems to have failed to consider. By not giving these thing a denomination ($500 or whatever), they remove them from the category of ”coins,” and make them medals or tokens. EU law exempts most bullion gold coins from VAT, which is usually around 20%. This was an astoundingly common sense move by the EU, since a dealer’s profit margin on these coins is 2% or less, and the turnover rate with a 20% tax on top would be exactly zero. But the rule applies to coins, not tokens or medallions. By not making these things NCLT coins (NCLT= non-circulating legal tender), they are removed from an automatic tax-free status in the EU—not that Trump enjoys much of a favorable opinion here in the EU to begin with. Any insanely expensive item with his face on it would have about as much luck of being a sales sensation here as a travel agency that only offers one-way trips to Chernobyl.
