Misinformation. Totally false. The barest possible technicality that this is happening and Trump is President, yes. But this is not his work.

• The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 was primarily the work of Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA). But it was a bipartisan bill
• The creator of the coin intended it to represent the colonies in the revolution, i.e. yes, a time of war.
• The final design was approved in 2024 - so if anyone "did" it, it would be Biden
• In place of the olive branch, the bald eagle is in flight clutching arrows in its talons, with one talon left empty. The empty talon is meant to signify that the colonists were waiting for a peace they had not yet reached.

I hope someone will verify what I've said is true and pass it back to the source to let more people know. There's plenty of things wrong - this is not one of them.

God, they are so dumb.

I love it though how the Eagle is now looking at its empty claw like: "WTF?!?"

It's a nice symbol for the state the US and lots of its people are currently in.

What's sad is that the obverse of the 250th dime is probably the best of the redesigns. For the first time since 1946, we'd have a circulating coin with an idealized figure of Goddess Liberty instead of a dead politician.

The typography is atrocious though. And the lack of a cohesive design language sucks. The Charles III coinage from the UK are so much better as a thematic set.

Had to check if it was April 1st already.
