      How is it illegal? I’m assuming there is a federal mint but it’s under the legislature’s jurisdiction? Something like that?

      There’s also a ‘two-faced’ pun in there somewhere.


      Found out why.

      To avoid the appearance of a monarchy, it was long-standing tradition to only feature portraits of deceased individuals on currency and coin. That tradition became law with an 1866 Act of Congress.

    If you hand me a “trump” coin as change I will literally scream at you to give me any other coins or currency. I don’t want NAZI money.
