Who wakes the sleeping giant for nonsense!

 

Is that commissioned by DT? Mint website? I really don't see anything wrong with it. It's an opinion, and that's it.
Here is a patriotic token from the civil war!

This guy had tons of tokens, commemoratives made of him, or the event.

Like him or not, It is better that the man is still alive!

 

The 1866 Act would need an amendment, else, the 2020 Act would conflict if a living person were on a denominated coin, in this case a $1.00 coin.

A token would not violate the 1866 Act because it would not have a denomination.

I think the proposed Trump coin could be construed as “emblematic of the Semiquincentennial” but denominated as legal coinage would be unconstitutional without the correlating amendment.

I stipulate neutrality concerning politics, hopefully this is found acceptable as I have no partisan intent whatsoever, stating only opinion about known facts concerning U.S. coinage…Spark

 

Not necessarily - there is a precedent for this. The 1926 Sesquicentennial coin featured Calvin Coolidge, the living current president at the time.

 

Edited- political

 

It would be a bad joke if he suffered the same fate of the president on the half dollar. Nearly did happen.

 

Whether it is or isn't doesn't really matter. If they do mint them you still have the choice to purchase one or not. No big deal.

 

There would be a terrible amount of bag marks on each coin, not worthy!

 

Just another distraction.

I found out about this yesterday.

I'm happy to have CoinTalk as a place where I don't have to deal with political nonsense.

 

I believe the Coolidge/ Washington half was illegal at the time but they did it anyway. I would rather they just continue presidential dollar series for all of them living or deceased and keep politics out of it.

 

I have zero interest in Trump, that's what I think! Wish I could say more but politics is off limits on this forum and I like it that way!

 

I saw it on the newsfeed today, I think it's real.

 

I wouldn't want one within a thousand feet of my house.

 

If the design is authorized by congress they it will become a coin.

 

I... I... hmmm. I will keep my opinions to myself on this. And furthermore, I don't thi... hmmm. Politics has a way of ruining enjoyable things. Need I say any more?

 

With the treasury department being so partisan on the issue I find it kind of weird.
