I don’t get why coin money is made so often. I get quarters all the time from before they printed them with states on the back and they work fine.
Why always recycling and reprinting metal money. ?
Such a waste of money.
Like this whole penny deal.
You are telling me there is a shortage of pennies when most people use digital money.
What about all the pennies that have been made in the last 50 years ?
Stop recycling the old ones.
Just keep what we have and we wouldn’t have a shortage.
Am I right or am I missing some fundamental reason why coin money keeps being made and coins that are perfectly good keep getting “recycled”. ?
War mongers did what?
They had to go after the coin with FDR, because conservatives REALLY hate FDR. So petty.
The US Americans are so screwed. Just take a look at Russia if you want to see the future of the US. Widespread poverty, endless war, crony capitalism with a strong and untouchable oligarchy, all ruled by an incompetent but brutal dictator and his loyalists. At least Russia has history and an intellectual class, the US is devoid of anything grounding it. It’s going to be an unending clown show of horrors.
lol you think he US doesn’t have an intellectual class? Just one big country of dummos, huh? The portrayal of the US and the shape of our leadership definitely makes it seem that way but there are a massive number of intellectuals in the US. The current admin is trying to drive them out (or at least inadvertently doing so), but they are certainly a reality. Funnily enough, a huge number of them are first or second gen immigrants because the intellectually inclined would come here for the school and the opportunities.
Don’t conflate the caricature with the character.
we can just say ‘capitalism’

The future of the US? That’s the present! The future is much worse because of the massive concentration/death camps being constructed.
Believe me. If Trump was as competent as Putin we’d be fucked even faster. His sheer incompetence was the chance given to the american people, but most of them are on the same level.

In other news, the Treasury is drafting a new $1 coin with the fuck-knuckle on both sides
Drafted image (WIP)
Wow, they really want to emphasize the year 1776 for some unknown, totally not racist, sexist, ableist, eugenicist, fucked up reason…
I fucking knew he’d try to put his face on currency, so glad it’s illegal however will that stop them?
The latter is literally illegal, and has been since 1866. No portraits or likeness of a living person may be put on US currency, bonds, or securities. For very good reason.
Honestly, making him eligible is entirely acceptable.
Like they tried to do in the image on the back of that “coin.” What a blown opportunity sigh
When has the law ever stopped these shit stains?
Haha do you guys remember laws
Maybe the treasury knows something that we don’t?
A laser cutter could etch “TRAITOR” across his face in bulk
I’d like to find something anti-Donvict to stamp on all my paper money so it circulates with that on there.
Any ideas?
How much does a laser cutter cost?
Never done metal, but it looks like what people like for it is called a “fiber laser”
They seem to go for about $1400 but have not shopped around or tried to pick up a used one

Besides being illegal, that is not a very wise thing to do. Given enough time, the majority of those coins in circulation are going to be defaced. Of course, you’d have to be looney to use a coin for a dollar in the first place, but what do I know, eh?
I love a dollar coin. They last longer and are superior to paper. Love the Euro system. 1 and 2 euro coins, bills start at 5 euro
So much easier to use in vending machines!
That was mostly a play on the Canadian dollar coin being called a looney, I actually think $1/$2 work well as coins.
looney
(I get the feeling the joke was intentional)
It definitely was haha, tucked the eh in at the end for an additional hint. I actually think they work quite nice.
But the best bit is the two dollar coin, the tooney.
I will happily throw these in the trash where they belong if I ever come across them.
I’d gather them up and melt them down into ingots, then sell the ingot for scrap. It would probably become a net loss overall, but anything to rid the nation of that insufferable traitor’s visage on our currency.
Ew
Christ, I thought this was an Onion headline at first.
They’re like little boys only with real instead of toy guns.
Even worse.
Their toy soldiers are real people. Most people know someone somehow that’s in the military
They’ve been blowing up fishermen from afar as a test run for playing with these ”toys”. They don’t care.
Can’t believe the USA fell to such insufferable edgelords. Just kill me already please.
The bird looking at it’s empty foot like it left home without its wallet again
It’s looking for its Florsheim shoe that used to be there. It was a couple of sizes too big, so it fell off during flight.
“Are we the baddies?”
Jesus, what edgelords.
Literal warhawk on the dime.
War eagle. It’s a nod to wartime Colonel insignia, during war the eagle faces the arrows during peace it faces the olive branch.
It doesn’t change directions during war. It always faces the olive branch, to show a commitment to uphold peace during peacetime, and a hope to return to peace during wartime. But the arrows are always held, as a symbol of the capacity for force when necessary. Maybe it used to switch sides? But it has always faced the olive branch since at least the end of WW2.
That “it has always faced the branch” thing is a large part of why the branch being absent is so jarring. Now it’s just facing… An empty foot? And it is extremely concerning, because it shows a marked shift in imagery from the regime. They’re not just posting dog whistles and pretending they don’t know… They’re actively abandoning established symbolic images in favor of more aggressive ones.
The bird looks confused now, just liking at an empty talon
It doesn’t now, it did you until iirc like 1960ish. One shoulder would have peace the other would face war, during war a few manufacturers made sets that only faced war hence war eagles.
It has not “always” faced the branch. Literally 30 seconds of Google or Bing or whatever will tell you that much at least it’s not true.
You may have meant since but “always” is simply inaccurate.
It’s not changed during war or peace.
It carries arrows to show readiness for war and faces the olive branch to show a preference for peace, since it was modified by Truman in 1945.
1951 and they are no longer approved for use yet they are still called war eagles and that’s what they’re evoking.
Kill em all.
