If Trump’s revolting face goes on a banknote, he will leave a stain on the country that cannot be concealed. It will persist long after the rein of his regime. Congess will use their precious time to decide whether a law should be overturned in order to stoke Trump’s ego and infuriate pro-humanity people. Currently the law does not allow living people to be printed on banknotes. The law also does not allow for a denomination of $250, so republicans will argue that an act of Congress is needed anyway.
It’s quite sickening because when Trump’s term ends at least half the country wants him out of sight and out of mind.
They are calling this a “commemorative” banknote. Does that mean fewer of them?
Note to shop owners: you will legally be able to refuse the banknote if it’s for a point of sale. But not if it’s used to pay a debt.
I would fucking love it if this issue would motivate dems to the polls this year to try to vote republicans out of Congress just to stop Trump’s face becoming a permanent stain on USD money.
Kinda rather they make it a $1000 so they struggle to get and spend them.
$1k bills were printed at one point. I believe they were only used in bank-to-bank transactions… IIRC. But note that the purpose of the $250 note is to mark the 250 year anniversary.
