A great idea. Then, when you have to spend four donalds for a carton of eggs you’ll remember why voting for con-men is a bad idea.
Shhh… do you even know how easy that will be to forge? ;) ;)
$4? Shit it was $6 at the local Aldi yesterday.
Four donalds, aka four hundred dollars ($400)
How much are goofies worth?
He just told you. $400
Oooh my brain just “auto corrected” it to “dollars” when I was reading it.
More likely this is so the money launderers can have icon recognition.
Just so everyone’s aware, it’s super duper illegal to deface currency.
So like, it would be against the law to use a sharpie to add a Hitler mustache to Trump’s face on said dollar bill; or add an arm extended in a Nazi salute; or add swastikas over ‘god’ where it says “In god we trust”; to then bring it to a bank and report that you received defaced currency and would like to exchange it for new bills, only to do it all again.
So… y’know, probably don’t do those things.
It’s more a legally gray area in the US that as far as I can find from a quick search has never been settled in court. It likely isn’t worth the time for police to go after either even if it was more explicitly illegal.
That might change if there’s a sudden surge in people drawing on $100 bills, but who uses $100s that often anyway? Most ATMs I used only dispense $20s. It often isn’t worth the trip to the bank, and the US is unfortunately mostly cashless now.
But to be clear: fuck this fascist bullshit and resist in whatever ways you can
There’s an argument we shouldn’t even be issuing $100 bills in the first place. Counterfeiters have to spend money to copy money. A $1 or $5 bill isn’t worth the cost. A $50 is getting there, but if you put extra anti-counterfeiting measures around it, then it’s pushed out of reach again.
Once you reach a $100 bill, though, it’s hard to have enough anti-counterfeiting measures while also being cheap enough to produce by the actual US Mint. Drop it entirely, and the problem goes away.
Look if you hate hip-hop music videos… 😉
At this rate he might do it himself.
It’s not illegal as long as you’re not trying to get it out of circulation, advertise, or pass off one denomination as another. So deface away.
(note: I am not a lawyer, do not believe some random person on the internet)
It’s also illegal for a living person to be featured in our currency.

18th consecutive golden retriever dunk
it’s super duper illegal to deface currency.
Um, no. It’s not.
18 U.S. Code § 333 - Mutilation of national bank obligations
I guess there’s some wiggle room with regards to intent and whether it could be argued that adding Nazi iconography (moreso than trump’s face as-is) to bills renders them unfit to be kept in circulation.
If my personal freedom was on the line here, I’m sticking with “idk it was like that when I got it - can I get a new one please?” vs “ooh come on, it’s fiiine, you can still spend this!” but interpreting the law isn’t my specialty, so grain of salt.
We’re a long way from “super duper illegal” now aren’t we? Intent is everything. If you’re not attempting fraud nobody will care.
Sidenote: I spent a couple of years working in Nigeria. Almost all bank notes there had some scribble on it, as it frequently doubled as note paper. When you don’t have Post-its, cash will do, I guess.
Man, these bootlickers are so pathetic. The lengths they go to to kiss his ass would be cringe even if it was towards an actual great person. The fact that it’s directed at this hateful, disgusting man is the saddest thing…
President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family," Gill told Fox News Digital. "Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime…
- Wasn’t he golfing yesterday?
- We all know he hates his family and is happy to avoid them.
- “Took a bullet” is akin to me saying I was stabbed in the face by a deranged idiot when I cut myself shaving.
- Working overtime at what exactly? Are his tiny chode fingers getting tired from signing a few bits of paper?
Didn’t the bullet go through his ear and kill a firefighter?
Bullet never touched him. The blood was splatter. He wore a bandage for 2 days for show. When it came off there was not a scratch.
Conspiracy theories don’t help. Especially since there was a photo with the bullet mid flight.
I work at a hospital and have worked with hundreds of patients around his age. When you’re that old, your skin is like paper thin and tears extremely easy. I’ve slid patients from one bed to another and tore skin. Donald Trump was tackled by secret service. Maybe it was his blood but I highly doubt he took a bullet or any shrapnel from glass or anything else.
Just in case people didn’t know they were heading into a personality cult dictatorship already.
Doesn’t DJT has to die soon for that?
What a massive waste of taxpayer money.
What a massive defacement of taxpayer money.
lol … by the time they do pass regulations and laws to do all this … 1 Trump will be worth nothing
It will be like the German Reichsmark and they’ll be printing out so much of it, that these paper bills will be more valuable as a fuel source to cook your food than in actually purchasing anything of value.
“1 Trump will be worth nothing” vs the immense value one Trump has now. lol.
I saw the onion logo and thought “heh, that’s funny”. Then I re-read the name of the community…
Will that lower grocery prices?
So…America…you guys really are about a step-and-a-half away from this?
Get your shit together. Christ.
Already nose diving face first. Steps are gone.
There’s already proposals to put his face on Mt Rushmore, so yes.
new toilet paper just dropped
Surely this will be the policy to finally bring egg prices down
In the tradition of USA currency being only for dead presidents - I will gladly allow Trump’s face on any bill if he’s the one to pull the trigger
That’s actually a far point
Just fucking pathetic.
