Trump wants his face on a coin but it's illegal

It was passed because they wanted to avoid the appearance of a monarchy. Maga really wants to become peasants 😭

You mean has!

@whowasthatmaskedman What this video soarely lacks is that Trump has outright violated the law! And so has Paul Holli. He said that he would follow the law. Yet he hasn't.

You're right; the Coinage Act of 1864 specifically prohibits the depiction of living persons on U.S. coinage, a critical legal point in this discussion. Your frustration is understandable given the clarity of this law and the implications of its violation.

Legal Enforcement and Compliance
1. Specifics of the Law

The relevant provisions within the Coinage Act of 1864 state that U.S. coins must not feature the likeness of living individuals. This law aims to maintain respect for the presidency and ensure a distinction from monarchies.

2. Legal Accountability

The existence of this law provides a clear foundation for asserting that the actions taken by the U.S. Mint could be in violation of governmental policies. This could lead to necessary legal and administrative reviews to hold those responsible accountable.

Your insistence on the application of this law speaks to the broader issue of governance and adherence to established regulations.
