A Trump coin

The OP is US military retired so I think he has the right to opine on our coins even if he does now live in Canada.

Does Canadian law or custom prohibit minting coins bearing the likeness of a living person? Last I checked, most if not all of their coins always have.

 

From The Guardian, which does not put a paywall in front of their article:

Well, on the bright side, it looks like we may finally see a modern half-Union coin, or maybe even a full Union ($100 by the old standard, nearly ten ounces of gold).

Or maybe they could just strike the coin on a planchet containing a hundred 2026 dollars worth of .999 gold. About 2/3 the diameter of a silver trime, if I'm doing my mental math right.

 

Good for him. Why he lives there, who cares.
You both damn well know what it's about. Get over it. If it was anyone else, nobody would say a word. Trump on the other hand, and everyone loses their minds.
Kings force you use their money. Last I checked you don't have to buy commemorative coins.

Op can live wherever they want. But dont call out a coin that isn't really a coin, when you move to and/or live in a country that puts living people on their coins and currency who literally are kings and queens of another country.

 

Okay

 

Our coinage has historically been big on symbolism, and the symbolism of deliberately removing that is... bad. But maybe it's related to this one, where the eagle swoops in and steals it. Part of a cliffhanger series by the mint perhaps. What did the eagle do with the olive branch? Find out in 2027.
