I thought you had to be dead to be on the money. Maybe that's a worthy trade?

It's not a law as far as I know, just a tradition. The Mint and Congress have only ever put designs in place for people who have already passed away. This was strongly codified in the presidential dollar coin series. They required that for a president to have a coin, they had to have died some time before their coin was due. This meant that the series did not include presidents still living, even past ones.
You only put living people on coinage if they're monarchs was the original thinking. In fact, we barely put actual people on coins until 1932. Up until then it was depictions of Lady Liberty and animals more than anything else. We changed that with the George Washington quarter as a commemorative short run, but it just kind of kept going... and now we're trying to put a monarch on the currency. Oh, how the nation has fallen.

I propose that Trump is on a -100 dollar bill
-
-
Just his fake hair and makeup canisters. I might be down for that.
-
If they liquid him and put him in a (large) jar, they can fit all of him in the bill. Throw the wig on top and no one could tell the difference.

President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family. Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime to secure our border, fix our uneven trade relationship with the rest of the world, make America energy independent again, and put America first by ending useless foreign aid.
He is spending his time with his family and golfing.
Gill argued that replacing Benjamin Franklin with Trump on the $100 bill "is a small way to honor all he will accomplish these next four years."
How do you honor what he will do?

They have a 900 page book with all the accomplishments . its called project 2025.

We’ll get to see his face then every time we buy a dozen eggs.
-
I nominate Mickey Mouse.
-
Just no.

This is stupid, just start printing exclusive trump $1000 bills and a bunch of idiots will spend $2000 or more to get em! /s
-
Joke’s on you, we’ll all need to start using $1000 bills once America shuts off from the rest of the world.
It’s all about Trumps baby.

The proposal also recommends using orange ink instead of green.
-
Shouldn't he be on the three dollar bill?
-
Nah, Trump won’t be satisfied until his face is on every single piece of American, Canadian, Mexican, and Greenlandian currency.
-
Fits. Most normal people don't use the USD100 denominations, anyway. That's for bribers, gangsters, and drug lords, anyway.
