But. His mug on billions of pennies?

In England and later Great Britain, every new monarch got his or her portrait on the coinage and currency of the realm. That started as soon as the coronation was over.

In the United States, everyone agreed that such a practice should never be put in place in our nation. Clearly it was precisely because we declared our independence from a monarchy that did exactly that. It was a measured and consensual agreement by the founders. No living Kngs' or Queens' heads on our money. Once their dead, maybe we can use Presidents' likenesses, if they were good presidents.

That was a good decision, and we should stick with it.

No Kings in the USA!

Hmmm....

Whoever appears on U,S. currency is supposed to be deceased.

surely the GOP would go for the penny.....

...when the Lincoln penny was introduced. Before 1909, the portraits were usually of "Lady Liberty" in some form. There was also the Indian Head penny from 1859-1909, using a portrait of a generic Native American.
