    The bill calls on the U.S. Treasury to print 400,000 silver dollar coins with Kirk’s face on them

    It’s garbage commemorative currency. The kind you see advertised on old people TV for multiples of its face value.

    Dollar coins for circulation are done in the multiples of millions

    That’s ok. If Trump gets a hold of the Fed, the US dollar won’t be worth much anyway. Go ahead and stick Pepe the Frog on that shit, for all anyone cares.

      He’s already getting the Fed to lower interest rates at a time when the market’s running too hot from the AI bubble and the cost of basic goods and services are ballooning thanks to his stupid bullshit tariffs. The next market downturn’s gonna be a depression.

    Pfluger said that “this commemorative coin will make Charlie the youngest American ever immortalized on legal U.S. currency, a fitting honor that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and founding fathers who shaped our republic.”

    There’s a literally baby on the Sacagawea quarters. Also she’s on there at around 17 years old.

    But maybe you don’t want to count native peoples?


    James Monroe is on the back of the New Jersey quarter at the age of 18.

    But maybe you don’t want to count revolutionaries who became POTUS.


    A rendition of a statue of Oliver Perry depicted at the age of 28 is on Ohio’s “America the Beautiful” quarter.

    The “Formative Years” penny depicts Abraham Lincoln aged between 7 and 21.

    There’s also “American Women” and “American Innovation” series.

    FYI Its for 400k new silver dollar coins, not bills. Deface away, but use an awl instead of a pen.

      Counting or not counting gang violence?

      Gotta be my favorite one. But mostly because the rebuttal to it was so good.

    I mean, yeah, “could be”. He literally meets the only requirement:

    “An 1866 law bars a living person from being featured on U.S. currency.”

    TBH, I expect a stamp first. Easier to produce.

    Not a good idea. By the time each of the bills has passed through a few hands, holes will have been drawn on all the necks.

      It says in the first few lines the coins being released are a limited run of silver dollars. And it’s only a bill being introduced, not decided yet
