      Pretty wild how people’s lives are still controlled by food chips in 2026.

      Capitalism is hell.

      The latter is literally illegal, and has been since 1866. No portraits or likeness of a living person may be put on US currency, bonds, or securities. For very good reason.

      I fucking knew he’d try to put his face on currency, so glad it’s illegal however will that stop them?

      A laser cutter could etch “TRAITOR” across his face in bulk

        I’d like to find something anti-Donvict to stamp on all my paper money so it circulates with that on there.

        Any ideas?

        How much does a laser cutter cost?

          Never done metal, but it looks like what people like for it is called a “fiber laser”

          They seem to go for about $1400 but have not shopped around or tried to pick up a used one

      Besides being illegal, that is not a very wise thing to do. Given enough time, the majority of those coins in circulation are going to be defaced. Of course, you’d have to be looney to use a coin for a dollar in the first place, but what do I know, eh?

          But the best bit is the two dollar coin, the tooney.

          It definitely was haha, tucked the eh in at the end for an additional hint. I actually think they work quite nice.

        I love a dollar coin. They last longer and are superior to paper. Love the Euro system. 1 and 2 euro coins, bills start at 5 euro

          That was mostly a play on the Canadian dollar coin being called a looney, I actually think $1/$2 work well as coins.

        Upgrade from ass-pennies to ass-dollars, then sell them to Magats online.

        I’d gather them up and melt them down into ingots, then sell the ingot for scrap. It would probably become a net loss overall, but anything to rid the nation of that insufferable traitor’s visage on our currency.
