What a beautiful way to honor his life's work of self-promotion and trolling.

Anyway, healthcare pls?

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

If you work hard and are lucky, then healthcare can be obtained.

[–] yarr@feddit.nl 1 points 1 hour ago

Technically, any image could be printed on new U.S. currency. Slow news day?

GOP plans have the follow-through ratio of a Chris Christie diet plan, so I'll believe it when I see it.

Just collapse already! This is just getting silly at this point.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

On the new three-dollar bill?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Well, it would be about as legit.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 18 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Might grab one. Stick it in my coin collection next to the reichmarks my poppy picked up while killing nazis

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Well you should have to kill a nazi for a trophy. Stolen valour and all that...

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

kill a nazi to get a coin commemorating a nazi's killing. Hmm. Better get another coin just in case.

[–] Rune_Walsh@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It would be fun to draw little X's over his eyes on every bill.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 26 points 17 hours ago

They are coins, so drill holes in the neck

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't the dollar due to collapse due to foreign sanctions against the Trump regime tariffs?

Poetic.

New currency might be plastic.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

GOLD plastic tho.

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 6 points 15 hours ago

Can't wait to use my kirk bucks at the strippers. It's what he would've wanted

[–] KarlHungus42@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

Ironically, the coin will be roughly the same diameter as the hole in his neck

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Surely toilet paper would be a more appropriate medium to carry his semblance.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 14 points 23 hours ago

these people have no sense of history.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Will probably be a MAGA coin that isn’t even legal tender so Trump can fleece his followers even more.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It'll cost as much as a gold coin but will be made out of zink.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip 5 points 20 hours ago (2 children)
[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

I can't imagine a world without Zinc.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Fake-zinc plated piece of fake iron

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 2 points 12 hours ago

Gilded lead would be so funny.

It will be gold plated to be sold as "gold coin"

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fast forward to 2030...

" That will be 13 Kirks"

" Here's a Rogan and a Shapiro, keep the change"

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

"A trump" will be used to refer to both a 100 monies or a rape.

Isn't the word "minted" not more correct as this is about commemorative coins?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Not if you just slap a sticker on them. It's also cheaper that way.

[–] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if they do, just draw penises on his face.

Making the currency even more worthless...

[–] poccalyps@sh.itjust.works 104 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Fuck, if we are putting streamers on currency I vote for Pokimane.

What a fucking joke...

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 124 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Never Harriet Tubman though.

I wonder if there's a reason why? Anyone know???

[–] verdi@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

Too much money for the extra ink /s

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 73 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She rescued what, a few thousand people? Kirk offended millions!

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago

Mysteriously, so did Harriet Tubman.

Silver dollar coins? Can't wait to buy as many as I can so I can melt them down and use them as Antifa challenge coins or something along those lines.

I assume Charlie-Kirk-Lied is going to be the party anthem too?

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (8 children)

I hate the idiots in charge of this country.

Does anyone living in a sane country wanna do a greencard marriage thing? I'm a good cook, enjoy keeping my space clean, and am a fairly experienced flatterer, if that sweetens the pot any.

.....pretty please? :(

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I will suck literally anything.

Make it a bill so we can wipe our ass with it. Burn it. Deface it. All that fun stuff.
