I joked about this three years ago. Companies out there purchasing standard $2 bills and editing them to place Donald Trump’s face over Thomas Jefferson’s, and selling the bills with a high markup as collectibles.
Turns out … we’re headed for the age of Trump Dollars, whether we want them or not.
The next paper print run from the U.S. Mint will replace the usual signatures on paper money – the Secretary of the Treasury – with Donald Trump’s Sharpie-squiggled signature.
Ugh.
Between that, and Trump’s rebrand of the U.S. dime to fit his own twisted view of fascism, I’m this close to conducting business transactions in seashells and origami crafts.
However … I should note that there is something you can do if you see any of these Trump bills in the wild.
And Trump can’t do anything to you if you do this.
Remember the “Where’s George?” program, where people would stamp “Where’s George?” on a $1 bill and then spend it, and then use a website (wheresgeorge.com) to track the bill’s journey through its serial number?
Yep. You can stamp a dollar bill with any message and it’s totally legal.
Same thing as when you write “Good luck” on that $10 you give a pizza parlor on that shop’s first day, and the pizza parlor owner tapes it to the wall. That owner could later take that $10 to the bank and deposit it for the full $10.
So if someone happened to take a pen … and, oh, I don’t know, write some message in the blank space of a Trump-signed dollar, so that it reads something like …
- Donald J. Trump is a rapist
- Donald J. Trump is a racist
- Donald J. Trump’s best friends are Putin and Epstein
- Donald J. Trump cheats at golf
- Donald J. Trump cheated on his wives
- Donald J. Trump destroyed our nation
- Donald J. Trump caused that inflation
Get creative. And then let that paper money fly. Paper money circulates for about 18 months before the fibers start to deteriorate. That’s 18 months where your message gets out to the populace.
Sometimes the bills last longer. Heck, eight years ago I blogged about an effort by the Ben & Jerry’s founders to stamp money with their own special message.
Besides … you know who has their face and likeness on money?
The United Kingdom. That’s King Charles III on their British pounds.
And last I checked … we left England so that we would not have kings rule our finances.
And Donald Trump is no king.
He’s barely competent enough to qualify as a court jester.
