A federal commission tasked with approving designs for coinage has approved a 24-karat gold coin featuring President Donald Trump, flouting precedent regarding commemorating living presidents and possibly violating federal law.
The coin, formally meant to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States, shows Trump standing behind a desk, firmly pushing his two fists on top of it while giving a stern look in the direction of the coin holder.
The unanimous vote from the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts occurred on Thursday. The commission is composed entirely of people appointed by the president, following his firing of its former members last fall.
Someone needs to add a child’s head poking out from under the table to make it more historically accurate.
