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
Fuck, if we are putting streamers on currency I vote for Pokimane.
I vote (illegally) for MetalJesusRocks.
I'm down for SimpleFlips. Pass a dude a dollar? Shout out to SimpleFlips.
cool idea honestly
Melon head Fantano. He’ll complain it doesn’t sound like Death Grips.
I want Yumi with his ugly ass bowl cut.
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...
Will probably be a MAGA coin that isn’t even legal tender so Trump can fleece his followers even more.
It'll cost as much as a gold coin but will be made out of zink.
It will be gold plated to be sold as "gold coin"
fake zinc?
Fake-zinc plated piece of fake iron
Gilded lead would be so funny.
I can't imagine a world without Zinc.
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!
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."
Misleading title, they’d be coins:
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.
You can technically still deface coins in a variety of ways, such as with a window breaking tool, and red marker. Not saying I would, of course...
Little drill hole somewhere maybe
I was just wondering how much I could sell them for if they had an actual bullet hole through them...
Might have to make me a stamp that says
"NAZI
GOLDSILVER"I assume it's just a Charlie Kirk commemorative coin?
It would seem so.
Surely toilet paper would be a more appropriate medium to carry his semblance.
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.
Making the currency even more worthless...
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.
I assume Charlie-Kirk-Lied is going to be the party anthem too?
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.
I hope this causes Sacagawea and Susan B. Anthony to rise from the grave and bitch-slap some motherfuckers.
ANYTHING BUT TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. FUCKING ANYTHING.
It would be fun to draw little X's over his eyes on every bill.
They are coins, so drill holes in the neck
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.
Ironically, the coin will be roughly the same diameter as the hole in his neck
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.
these people have no sense of history.
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.
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!
Wtf!
-JFK
Of course they wanna make him into a fucking commemorative coin lmao perfect thing to sell on antenna tv informercials
Just collapse already! This is just getting silly at this point.
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.
A fresh attempt at currency devaluation
I will rob a bank just to burn those notes.
A much more original way to devalue your currency than the Romans.
May it go to zero.
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.
Please let it be a low denomination coin so I can have trains run over his face.
On the new three-dollar bill?
Well, it would be about as legit.

Chrlie Kirk: the Worst Vessel of the american dream
Someone ask chat gpt what the opposite of a wet dream is
Dry Reality :(
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
I’ve always wanted an excuse to wipe my ass with money
Hey, don’t kink shame my ass pennies fetish
What a beautiful way to honor his life's work of self-promotion and trolling.
Anyway, healthcare pls?
If you work hard and are lucky, then healthcare can be obtained.
Anyway, Epstein files?
Can't wait to use my kirk bucks at the strippers. It's what he would've wanted
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 podcaster? For fuck sakes guys.
you have no power over me - cashless people
The federal government has a ton of power over cashless people what are you talking about
Literally all the power
can't see his face on cash if never hold cash
That's not what you said. And also that's not true.
BOYCOTT MONEY!
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.
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.
More repulsive white men on currency. Yay!
cool, never asked for a specific denomination in dollars before but I guess there's a time for everything.
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
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.
