In reply to the discussion: New Trump move to etch his face on $1 coin hits snag as critics note he'd have to be dead [View all]PXR-5
(548 posts)55. I used to work for Lionel Trains
Back during his first term. We always made train cars in honor of past presidents. The board said let's do Trump, but we had the same policy that the president had to be dead.
Keep in mind the company was composed of mostly liberals, but for the sake of money, they made an exception and produced a Trump car. It was one of the best selling cars ever, like nothing we've ever seen before. Despicable.

Put his face on a 3 dollar bill. People would know it's a phony piece-of-shit.

I'd actually love to see Trump's image on coins, as long as they as inscribed with "Never Forget. Never Again."
