Trump Coin
Throughout history, monarchs and dictators have used their likeness on coins to signify their ultimate power. Roman Emperor Nero had his face on a gold coin when he was the ruler for just 13 short years. Edward III of England and King Louis XIV of France both had gold coins bearing their likenesses. Now there’s a call to put Donald Trump’s likeness on a gold coin. There’s just one problem- United States law prohibits any living person from being on legal tender, most likely because the framers wanted to differentiate their intended constitutional republic from the monarchies and later dictatorships of much of Europe.

The argument in favor of changing federal law in the United States to allow for this coin to be produced starts by praising Trump for never holding public office or serving in the military. In the associated Change.org petition, the argument continues:

“Additionally, Donald J. Trump is the first successful reality television icon to ever become President. Ronald Reagan was a movie star, aligning him with the Hollywood elite. Reality television is the people's television.”

Should the U.S. put Trump on a gold coin?
