      I mean…not much at all. A redesign & print, then just business as usual. It’s not like we’re going to stop printing hundreds.

      Now we’re finally killing the penny (yay), and I would even argue hell, let’s get rid of the nickel, too. I know there will be a little pain involved, but especially post/mid crazy inflation…my god. WHAT is the purchasing power of a goddamn penny or nickel?? I mean who are we kidding with this nonsense, minting coins with no real value?? Junk.

      Not as much as you might expect, but that’s beside the point.

    It’s getting harder and harder to distinguish NTO headlines from the rest. That’s how stupid this motherfucker is. Every Trump headline could be posted here unironically.

    I thought there already was a law stating living persons cannot be placed on currency. Am I not correct?

    The next admin is going to have so much shit to clean up that it’ll be like seeing your home after you rented it out to a massive drunken party.

    Man, these bootlickers are so pathetic. The lengths they go to to kiss his ass would be cringe even if it was towards an actual great person. The fact that it’s directed at this hateful, disgusting man is the saddest thing…

      Don’t you have to be dead to be on currency? If so he can be on any bill he wants long as he is dead.
