The next signs of the nation’s political divide might be jingling in your pocket next year.

The administration plans to issue a $1 coin with President Donald Trump’s likeness on it next year, despite a century-old precedent of not honoring sitting, or even living former, presidents on coins.

Instead of quarters honoring the abolition of slavery, granting women the right to vote and the Civil Rights movement, the Treasury will instead issue historical quarters featuring white men from the 18th and 19th centuries who were already well represented on currency and in historical tributes.

The new coins, coming after the administration stopped issuing new pennies earlier this year, underscore Trump’s drive to put his own stamp on the presidency far beyond the confines of the White House – whether it’s by putting his own face and name on US institutions or by pulling back on diversity efforts to reframe the story of America itself.

The US Mint on Thursday released the final coin designs for historical quarters celebrating the country’s 250th birthday next year. Rather than the fight against slavery or giving women the vote, the designs primarily honored a more homogeneous view of US history: George Washington for the Revolutionary War, Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence, James Madison and the Constitution, Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address, as well as pilgrims to celebrate the Mayflower Compact.

Democrats push to ban Trump’s plan to put himself on a new $1 coin

Trump’s self-celebrating maneuvers are authoritarian actions worthy of dictators like North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, not the United States of America,” one Senate Democrat said

A group of Senate Democrats have put forward legislation that would prevent the government from minting coins featuring the likeness of President Donald Trump.

The bill, called the Change Corruption Act, was introduced by senators Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada Tuesday, Punchbowl News reported. Co-sponsors include lawmakers, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Ron Wyden of Oregon.

…

There are already U.S. laws which seem to prevent living presidents from appearing on American currency.

… more … t made up new law …

15. Catch-22

Coinage is legally distinct from currency so that might be a loophole for him to try and worm through.

We have no functioning government.

4. What's on the reverse?

A wrecking ball demolishing the East Wing as metaphor for destruction of the federal government?

8. Oh HELL no!

Oh the horror! I do my absolute best not to ever look at him or listen to him and now he's going to be on my money?

That mofo has to ruin EVERYTHING; put his ugly mug on EVERYTHING.

How can he do this?

No, no, no, a million times no.

My first thought was I'd throw every damn dollar with his face on it in my cats' litter boxes for them to shit on, but maybe I should just give them away. At least that way, they'd do someone some good.

9. Goody!

A coin with two tails.

Must have been his own “design” team. Puke.

14. I think this will go about as well as we all think

And could get rather humorous

16. And there it is, looking for a low time commit business endeavor

Coming soon from FHRRK Enterprises, a handheld vice stamp, only one insert available,

FUCK
TRUMP

I will be adding inserts to create boogers dripping from nose and drool out of the mouth.

Long term, my design team will be working on a stamp to change the face into an ass complete with dingleberries.

18. MAKE IT STOP!!

Besides, too much hair and his eyes are open.

19. You'd think that Trump would include just one Democrat on a coin,

say, Woodrow Wilson, due to his abhorrent racism.
