Never Harriet Tubman though.
I wonder if there's a reason why? Anyone know???
-
She rescued what, a few thousand people? Kirk offended millions!
-
Mysteriously, so did Harriet Tubman.
-
-
Racism :(
-
Too much money for the extra ink /s
-
-
Might grab one. Stick it in my coin collection next to the reichmarks my poppy picked up while killing nazis
-
Well you should have to kill a nazi for a trophy. Stolen valour and all that...
-
kill a nazi to get a coin commemorating a nazi's killing. Hmm. Better get another coin just in case.
-
-
-
What a beautiful way to honor his life's work of self-promotion and trolling.
Anyway, healthcare pls?
-
Anyway, Epstein files?
-
If you work hard and are lucky, then healthcare can be obtained.
-
-
Fast forward to 2030...
" That will be 13 Kirks"
" Here's a Rogan and a Shapiro, keep the change"
-
"A trump" will be used to refer to both a 100 monies or a rape.
-
"It's all about the Trumps."
-
-
-
Just collapse already! This is just getting silly at this point.
-
It would be fun to draw little X's over his eyes on every bill.
-
They are coins, so drill holes in the neck
-
-
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? :(
-
-
Anyone want to do that for me too? I might be disabled but I am very funny, I can do pixel art so I can make stuff for you, I have good style and can help you dress well, I can sew so I can mend your clothes! You can also have all my steam games!
Please get me out of here :(
-
I'd marry you both but the UK doesn't seem too far behind your shitshow :(
-
-
So we made it to the "Russian bride" level already. American Spouses
-
I will suck literally anything.
-
-
-
What a fucking joke...
-
Ironically, the coin will be roughly the same diameter as the hole in his neck
-
Surely toilet paper would be a more appropriate medium to carry his semblance.
-
-
Isn't the dollar due to collapse due to foreign sanctions against the Trump regime tariffs?
Poetic.
New currency might be plastic.
-
GOLD plastic tho.
-
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.
-
-
-
On the new three-dollar bill?
-
Well, it would be about as legit.
-
-
these people have no sense of history.
-
Ah lads..... You've gone too far now. C'mon. How in the name of sweet baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and all his carpenter friends is this not an onion? C'mon now. Seriously.
-
The timeline jumped the shark. Reality is too absurd for The Onion to parody.
-
The more time passes the more convinced I am that we actually do live in a simulation. That our reality is some kind of TV drama that was actually supposed to end years ago but now the writers are running out of ideas.
We're out here doing worse versions of decades old plotlines, the stuff that is "new" feels phoned in, we've got this huge cliffhanger in the Epstein files that is probably never gonna get resolved. Really feels like the show ships have ended back in 2012.
I mean I'm shitposting, but still.
-
-
I read this in Scotch/Irish
-
Then you read correctly!
-
-
-
Making the currency even more worthless...
-
Can't wait to use my kirk bucks at the strippers. It's what he would've wanted
-
if they do, just draw penises on his face.
-
Stamp. Someone will come out with an easy-to-use stamp that defaces these coins in a uniform way that can't be removed.
-
-
Misleading title, they’d be coins:
The bill calls on the U.S. Treasury to print 400,000 silver dollar coins with Kirk's face on them, Republican Representatives August Pfluger of Texas and Abraham Hamadeh of Arizona told Fox News. In addition to Kirk's image, the coins would include the message, "Well done, good and faithful servant." They would be minted with the year 2026 and his full name on them, according to Fox News Digital.
Also "Well done, good and faithful servant." is absolutely nauseating.
-
All things considered, coins make the most sense. Bills would be defaced so quickly. I was already imagining all the grotesque pen drawings over his dumb face.
-
I assume it's just a Charlie Kirk commemorative coin?
-
Pfluger said that "this commemorative coin will make Charlie the youngest American ever immortalized on legal U.S. currency, a fitting honor that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and founding fathers who shaped our republic."
It would seem so.
-
-
-
I assume Charlie-Kirk-Lied is going to be the party anthem too?
-
These coins will never circulate.
Commemorative coins like this are usually sold at a significant markup (even beyond the fact a "silver dollar" has about $30 worth of silver at today's bullion prices. Some of the markup is often set aside for a fund-raising purpose.
These will go directly into the albums of coin collectors, who to be blunt, tend to skew old, white, and MAGA. (If you go to a coin show, there will be plenty of right wing and Trump paraphernalia).
The ironic thing is that "really successful" commemorative coins tend to not appreciate well, because they glut any market. The most valuable modern coins tend to be either stuff that was deliberately underproduced (example: the 1996-W silver eagle that was only available with the purchase of almost two ounces of gold coins) or stuff that was ugly and unexciting and so they produced far less than the original allotment.
There are plenty of people who drag down their inheritance of 1970s proof sets, mail-order/shop-at-home products that are $10 worth of coin in $100 worth of packaging, high-markup bullion items, and market-glut commemoratives, just to discover that Grandpa should have bought AAPL instead. Often the "investment" didn't even beat inflation, and in the worst cases, they actually lost money in nominal dollar terms. I suspect a bag full of Kirk dollars would be a red flag to any appraiser in 2050.

AKA the Beanie Baby Effect. Everyone thought beanie babies were going to be collectibles, so everyone hoarded them and tried to keep them in good condition. The result is that they’re all basically worthless, because everyone who would want them already has them.
-
Yup. Baseball cards too. When I was young, an uncle would always buy me a complete set of baseball cards for that year. Well, turns out when every baseball card collector is doing the same thing, there really isn't any scarcity. They were 60 bucks a set in the 90s and they're 60 bucks on ebay today.

Reminds me of comic books. Comic books had a boom, with some selling multiple versions of the same issue with different covers "for collectors" and enthusiasts snapped them all up, kept them safe, stored them in plastic, went out of their way to make sure their collections were complete, only to fall on hard times and find out their collections were worth a fraction of what they spent on them when they tried to sell. Turns out that the Early Spiderman or Superman comics were worth alot of money because most printed copies ended up in the trash creating scarcity.
-
Have you even considered that the coins are shiny-shiny? Well worth the investment.
-
-
Isn't the word "minted" not more correct as this is about commemorative coins?
-
Not if you just slap a sticker on them. It's also cheaper that way.
-
-
Surprised the fat fuck hasn't ordered his own nasty face to be put on all US currency honestly...
-
There's a law that you have to be dead first.
Obviously that's not a hard barrier to him, but it means he needs to take more effort. He'll get to it, I'm sure.
-
There absolutely are commemorative Trump coins made out of gold, sold to rubes at several times the price of the metal.
-
-
They're going to double, triple, quadruple down. They are prepared to die on this hill although they don't expect to. There is no reasoning with this scum.
-
Well, with the coming hyperinflation they're going to need to print a lot of new notes, wouldn't be surprised to see his face on the trillion dollar note, usually used as toilet paper due to being much cheaper and more abundant...
-
TP USA.
-
-
ANYTHING BUT TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. FUCKING ANYTHING.
-
I hope this causes Sacagawea and Susan B. Anthony to rise from the grave and bitch-slap some motherfuckers.
-
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.
-
they'll be silver-ish
-
-
Wtf!
-JFK
-
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.
-
I will rob a bank just to burn those notes.
-
Good! BETTER a WHITE MAN than ANY Women or Blacks or Gays! And if this Offends you SUCK IT UP this is what Charlie Kirk preached!
-
Of course they wanna make him into a fucking commemorative coin lmao perfect thing to sell on antenna tv informercials
-
More repulsive white men on currency. Yay!
-
Make it a bill so we can wipe our ass with it. Burn it. Deface it. All that fun stuff.
-
They'll be going full China and make it a crime to deface the dear leader.
-
Trump will be in deep trouble for all that orange paint he sprays on Dear Leader's face.
-
-
-
A much more original way to devalue your currency than the Romans.
May it go to zero.
-
Nazi's do not belong on currency. Also he was a nobody podcaster. He will be forgotten about and he is just another right wing murder statistic.
-
A fresh attempt at currency devaluation
-
Please let it be a low denomination coin so I can have trains run over his face.
-
the strokes didn't work, but seeing Charlie's massive dome on a currency before his own crusty mug will definitely do it.
say hello to president couchfucker.
-
A podcaster? For fuck sakes guys.
-
I’ve always wanted an excuse to wipe my ass with money
-
I hope you don't mind metal coins.
-
Hey, don’t kink shame my ass pennies fetish
-
-
-
BOYCOTT MONEY!
-
oh no, don't put an ugly clown face on the currency i find ethically repulsive
as they tank the dollar and make an enemy out of everyone with any decency, what if they do that while clown money
-
cool, never asked for a specific denomination in dollars before but I guess there's a time for everything.
