It takes a lot of time to design a new, official US coin. I'm sure this is a "commemorative" "coin", worth about the metal it's printed on, being sold for excessive amounts to rubes. The only thing I'm uncertain about is whether the money goes to the shithead in the White House or some random grifter trying to cash in.
They were making these weird Trump coins during the Biden admin.
They sell for about $1.50 on Ali Express. It's hilarious.
$1.50 in real "guld"
Would make cool ‘plinking’ targets
They're as small as the Don's hands
And there in lies the skill of it!
The ruble doesn't go as far as it used to
It is a private company ripping people off. The coin is cheap to make but they sell it for like $50 bucks.
The white house is not involved
So like nearly every commemorative coin then. I have half a dozen tied to various years I went to PAX because I thought they were a cool piece of memorabilia.
I would have no quarms about profiting from these idiots
So every product Trump has grifted so far, from shoes to NFTs
It is unaffiliated with Trump. These coins have been done long before Trump was ever president.
yes, official us mint ~~coins~~ medals have been
https://www.usmint.gov/presidential-coins-medals/
trump even has one
https://www.usmint.gov/donald-j-trump-bronze-medal-MASTER_PRDJT.html
And even QVC has sold their own version of grifter ~~coins~~ medals. I’m just now positing that considering trump’s history of grifting, this new ~~coin~~ medal above is exactly that
The US Mint produces two things which should not be confused. They make actual legal US currency coins which hold monetary value based on the "full faith" of the United States as money. These frequently have artwork of past Presidents. The US Mint also produces collectable medals. The medals are not money.
The trump thing you linked is a medal, not money. There is no US currency with trump on it. My understanding is that the only money with US Presidents on it is dead US Presidents. That would exclude trump.
When did I say they were us currency?
You said its a coin, which the only coins the US Mint produces are currency. This is a medal which isn't a coin. A US Mint created coin is currency.
Ahh, my mistake, thanks for pointing that out. Appreciate the education, misunderstood what you meant previously
No worries! 🙂
