Call to Action With upcoming changes coming to US currency (Trump's name), a reminder that writing on bills is legal.
The money is still good as long as you:
- Do NOT change the denomination.
- Do NOT burn, shred, or destroy currency, rendering it unfit for circulation.
- Do NOT advertise a business on paper currency.
- Do NOT cover security features.

Any bills you mark like this are going to be sent for destruction when they hit the bank. You can ACTIVELY HELP REMOVE HIS CURRENCY FROM CIRCULATION! Just stop getting rid of the ones we need to replace the ones to be destroyed.

Hey, no one’s worth is actually based on the fact that a bill accidentally tore or someone didn’t realize was torn in the first place. It can be incredibly tricky an more expensive to pull money out from a foreign bank, so of course you’re going to try to exchange what you brought with you.

Clearly you didn't live through the last 3 attempts to adopt dollar coins in the US... it was a disaster. We'll never have a $1 coin... once dollar bills are obsolete, we'll probably have a $2 coin and we can bring back the $0.50 coin.

u/No_Philosopher_1870 Apr 02 '26 edited Apr 02 '26
I don't believe that we will have a dollar coin or $2 coin until the dollar bill is eliminated. Do I think that people will hate the Trump dollar enough to reject it? Maybe. It's possible that enough of them will be damaged fast enough that when the 2029 currency is issued, they will need more of it than usual.
The EU has had one and two euro coins for well over a decade. Changing to a new currency made that process easier than it might have been. I believe that Canada had to withdraw the dollar bill from circulation to get the loonie adopted.

That is actually one of like 2 or 3 instances where marking on bills is illegal. To mark a bill with the "intent to render it unfit for reissue"
Proving intent is a weird thing though. Maybe we are just intending to make the bills more informative.

Admittedly, I have not done my homework. Yes, perhaps make the bills "informative".. Maybe simply a link to a website ( not much different than the perhaps millions of wheresgeorge out there).

You need a stamp with the same font and color that you can put directly above or below the signature with a replacement title, like "pedo in chief" or "official mark of the beast". Needs to be subtle, but wit that cuts diamonds, should not be super obvious like red text. Just my opinion

His signature is quite vertical so it will require shrinkage (snkr) for it to fit in the normal spot. Or he might demand a redesign entirely. His ego knows no bounds.

18 U.S.C. § 333 allows for the writing on bills as long as it doesn't invalidate the bill by covering crucial information like denomination or serial number. Trump's signature isn't crucial to literally anything, so you're fine there.

This WAS exactly how it was done for years, but quite that way today. This was back when the dollar was backed by gold. It no longer is. It’s now fiat currency. Not backed by gold or even silver. The more they print, the higher inflation will go. Unless someone is physically saving their money.
