Salty:
Wile you and I are often in close agreement on many threads here, this is not and cannot be one of them.
Placing the portrait of someone who has passed away on coins currency is a gesture honoring their memory. In the USA, we do not honor folks this way in their lifetime. As Tex-Dotgujy has pointed out, that is what despots and dictators do.
However ineffectually my efforts are, I vigerously oppose any suggestion of putting President Trump's likeness on any currency or coin.
I would endorse, support and perhaps even buy a silver or gold coin issued by a US mint with his face on it after President Trump leaves office.
