Dear Americans, refer to it as The Looney and it will never get minted, sincerely your neighbours from the Great White North

      I think simply refusing to accept it as currency will make this nothing more than a worthless collectible from an embarrassing time in our history.

      Also who the hell uses change anymore.

    2. Frankly, I find the fact they left that dangling turkey wattle under his chin absolutely refreshing. I almost hope they actually mint it so we can all decline to use it, but the humiliating display of his aged decrepitude will be preserved forever.

    3. It’s a very special coin that while it’s in your possession depletes money from your bank account and gives it to poor billionaires that require a thirteenth vacation home. And a thirteenth yacht. It also removes your rights from the Constitution.

      A coin that celebrates the phrase made famous by Republicans when a Republican tried to assassinate a Republican

    5. It will immediately become the 2nd most defaced American currency, right behind the new Charlie Kirk coinage.

      Do it. Mint it.

      I’ll trade a thousand dollars worth of them every month and sodder “PEDO” and “TRAITOR” and “NAZI” into every last one of them as a hobby. I’ll use nothing but this to pay in cash to businesses that move a lot of physical currency, like gas stations and road tolls and supermarkets and food trucks. I’ll make it my mission in life to be a giant pain in the ass about it.

      Do it. I wanna form a club in my area.

      In the U.S., federal law prohibits the depiction of any living person on circulating coins, with some exceptions for commemorative coins. The law was enacted in 1866 to prevent abuses and avoid the appearance of a monarchy, after an official placed his own likeness on fractional currency during the Civil War era.

      The weirdollar.

      This is illegal. If it happens I’ll never accept one for payment or change in any transaction.

    9. We should refer to it as “A Weird”. That seemed to get under his skin last time the weirdo was called weird.

    10. Could you imagine being an engraver for the US Mint and having this end up on your desk? I wonder if they can all refuse because it’s against the law.
