thanks to inflation, I proposed new currency be issued to replace the existing, at a 1 for 10 ratio, like many other banana republics. Each would feature a portrait of Saint Reagan. That would put the goobers in a bind. They wouldn't want to accept a $1 bill in exchange for a $10 bill, but having the portrait of their God and savior might make it palatable.
Meanwhile, Tim used to mention on the Fool board, how Canada got rid of $1 bills: it simply quit making them. So, people have no choice but use the $1 and $2 coins.
$1 coins have been a failure in the US, both the "Susan B" and the "Sacagawea", but the Fed has continued to issue $1 paper bills.
Buckle up kids:
Treasury weighs minting $1 coin with Trump’s face for U.S. 250th anniversary
The Treasury Department is considering minting a $1 coin bearing President Donald Trump’s likeness on both sides.
A first draft of that coin shows Trump’s head in profile on one side, above the words “IN GOD WE TRUST” and the dates 1776 and 2026.
The other side of the coin mirrors a widely viewed photo taken of Trump in the moments after he survived an assassination attempt at a 2024 presidential campaign rally in Pennsylvania.https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/03/trump-face-coin-tr...The goobers will feel compelled to accept it, because it has the image of their God and savior on it, on both sides.
Retailers will have a place to put it, in their cash drawers, because Trump stopped production of the penny.
