    Everyone is discussing the headline, but I think equally amazing is that he struck FDR from the other side and replaced him with some MCU-ified aura-farming lady liberty.

    So it’s a cartoonishly partisan “fuck the dems and fuck social welfare and fighting Nazis” but he smuggles it in by putting a woman on the currency (woke!), but it’s not a real woman so he keeps his misogynist credentials and it looks like some action hero bullshit because it’s meant to play into the pro-war ethos.

    • literally the funniest part, imo, of the new face is that it says

      LIBERTY 1776-2026

      like it’s basically a memorial / gravestone implying liberty died in 2026. which, lmao.

      if i could design coins, i would just put big ass numbers on one side, maybe a cool structure on the other, and put a hole in the middle like some japanese and chinese coins do because a coins with holes in them are cool and fun to play around with.
