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

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

    Poetic.

    New currency might be plastic.

        If ever you get a chance, check out the Soviet Union military medals (shiny gold plastic) from the last decades. This has precedent.

        If they were smart they’d give them RFID chips, but that might cost more than the metal.

      Stamp. Someone will come out with an easy-to-use stamp that defaces these coins in a uniform way that can’t be removed.
