I’m sure you could put an interesting design of those with a souvenir coin press.

Critics such as written law

You are a news organization. You can look into the legality of this and find that it is not legal. You should do that.

Can’t acknowledge the actual law because then you’d have to acknowledge violation of it

What's the melting temperature?

I too dabble in Trump coin…

That word “reverse” is the loophole. Trump is on the obverse — the front/heads side. Trump on reverse: prohibited. Trump on obverse: apparently permitted by the literal wording. Totally bizarre but seemingly permissible loophole.

They SCREAMED their vocal cords- and social media fingers- into bloody stumps over the "money printer go brrrr" for covid relief...

Huh. So they're minted. I just assumed they were excreted out of John Roberts' arse.

The US mint releases illegal coin featuring the fascist megalomaniac felon who shits on the constitution on a daily basis. The time to invoke the 25th amendment is long overdue!!! 😶

WRONG! The law literally says it’s illegal. I guess if you wanted some benefit of doubt you could say “state allegedly breaks law” but it’s pretty clear you don’t even need that

lol you unprofessional cowards, you lickspittle stenographers, you absolute units of incompetence It’s plainly illegal and that is beyond question. Quit your jobs and do something that you are capable of. It’s certainly not journalism.

Maybe stop framing rampant criminality as “critics” complaining. You can read the federal statute.

It’s plainly illegal.

Trump’s casinos went bankrupt.

Imagine calling yourself a journalist and simply ignoring the law as it is written, and pretending that there are "critics" vs people saying "it's against the law, you stupid illiterate fucks"

Trash.

If these make it into circulation and someone tries to give me one, such as change from a commercial transaction, I will be refusing to accept it on the grounds that it is not legal tender.

Fuck me America is embarrassing 😂 imagine this being your 250th celebration

Well if he wants to fix the legal issue here, clearly he should just kill himself and all problems are solved

It doesn’t raise questions. The questions have been answered. It is illegal and this is evidence of a crime.

The law says it; critics cite the law. The law doesn’t “appear” to say it’s illegal, it says it’s illegal. The commemorative clause changes nothing about the core law. Face it: he’s a fascistic narcissist and you all are eager, compliant scribes. #ImpeachTrump #ImpeachBessent #NoFascistUSA

The law says it's illegal. It's not a question of critics saying it. You twats.

Trump builds stumpy mushroom like structure on White House lawn to celebrate his penis. Critics say that is insane.

“Raised questions”…you guys are pathetic

Critics say it's illegal because it's illegal.

No, critics say the law DOES NOT allow living persons to appear on US money. (The law objectively and clearly does not allow it, so they could even skip the pusillanimous "critics say" construction, but that's not how legacy media rolls.)

Scratch them like this. If enough of them get defaced, they'll be withdrawn from circulation.

As far as I understand its not illegal for coins to have a living person on them. Bills are different. Looks like he just can't call it a presidential $1 coin. Congress has said no for living persons on them. Might have misunderstood though.☝️

To be known as the 'Pedo'

What the hell? It is clearly and explicitly against the law.

...replace the Trump dollar. But those people who bought them would lose money (unless it becomes a collectors item) as they are paying over $60 for 25 coins. The Dems won't take it out as valid money but will take it out of circulation.

It’s. Illegal.

What garbage framing. It's 100% illegal

Critics say murder is illegal

One Trump coin buys one (1) small egg!

Can’t own a straightforward statement of criminality here, @reuters.com ?! smh

Illegal coins means they cannot be legal tender.

I mean, it’s not a question it’s just fucking illegal

It's like the whole country has lice.

So it's official, we have money called Pedollar now.

How many "Pedos" to buy a gallon of gas?

The only questions being raised are whether you will ever recover the self-respect & trust that you’re choosing to piss up the wall in this truly cringeworthy display of subservience to King Trump.

Stop with “critics say” for something black and white. It is illegal. Law is a fact. You have failed at journalism. Change or resign.

There's still time!

That governs Commemorative coins. This one is not one of those.

This framing is a study in cowardice

Maybe he foresees his impending death and is planning ahead. The only requirement to get your image on US money is you have to be dead.

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? It is illegal. Fuck you. Stop normalizing and sane-washing. Jesus.

Also I didn't know the law was a "critic"

"Man shoots wife; critics have raised questions about the act's legality." Silly, isn't it? "Critics have raised questions" is the most unhelpful wording you could choose, and you only use it for certain groups of people. Is it illegal or not?

Such a shame you can’t come to a conclusion yourselves… having a criterion is not a requirement nowadays in journalism

Is Illegal Thing Illegal? Who's to Say?

It’s illegal and you are helping them normalize getting away with breaking the law. If this was someone stealing a sandwich you wouldn’t be like “people are questioning the legality of it” you’d be asking why the police didn’t arrest them.

"Critics aren't raising questions," you absolute consent-manufacturing, collaborating fucks. It's straight up illegal.

Does Reuters employ a journalist who could do some journalism to find out what the law is?

er, there is a solution here

Is that his mug shot photo? Also, will vending machines recognize it? If we can't use it to purchase condoms in gas station bathrooms, what good is it?

Worthless, save for the two that will weigh down his eyelids when he finally fuckin croaks.

As disgusting as this is, why is every pic of felon/pedo47 his mugshot? I’m certainly never going to carry his likeness in my pocket. Makes me want to puke.

bsky.app/profile/coff...

We have so jumped the shark. And I’m sooooooo happy this stupid storyline is in its endgame now. He’s gonna get shellacked in the midterms.

So that's how pedo pennies are made... The pedophile in chief is selling 25$ worth of his pathetic coins for like 60$. It's just another scam.

Critics haven't "raised concerns". IT. IS. ILLEGAL. FUCKING SAY IT.

How desperately compromised is your management and editing team that you cannot state clearly that this is illegal. There is no controversy. There is no "some people say" It's law. Living people can't be put on currency. Why the FUCK ARE YOU BOTH-SIDES-ING THIS!?

Still interestingly, go to the US Mint website and type “January 6” in the search bar. They’re still selling the all-bronze coin (as opposed to Trump’s cheaper plated coin) that thanks the officers for fighting the Jan 6 rioters.

Illegal money. What crime will Trump conjure up next.

~raised questions~ grow a fucking spine you absolute dorks

There isn’t a legality question. It’s illegal. You are allowed to state facts, you don’t have to couch it in weasel terms

"Critics have raised questions about the design's legality" is a...friendly(?) way to say "there is literally a law specifically written to prevent this."

There is NO question. This is ILLEGAL, WTF is wrong with @reuters.com

Sure, they have raised questions. But, more importantly, it is actually illegal. That should be in the headline, not the raising of questions.

More evidence we have no functioning government and the rule of law is dead.

IT IS ILLEGAL NOT seems to be Not sort of ILLEGAL

Critics say murder may be illegal, but there's no way we could know for sure.

Critics = people who can read

It’s likely not illegal since these coins aren’t legal tender, they’re commemorative. Trump will have the mint sell them to his rubes for $100 each, then keep all the money.

No one is “raising questions”. It’s illegal.

Hey "experts say" is the New York Times' shtick, find your own.

Ótimo viver numa ditadura

Don't give Reuters any clicks, their parent company is a data broker that sells your CLEAR profile to ICE. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

It looks like shit.

One of said critics being the US Legal Code www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

Video from the crime scene.

Ooh. You know who puts their face on coins? Kings and Queens, that’s who.

It's good that they are documenting their constitution trashing crimes along with their actions to prop up a failing, flailing, dying old mobbed-up dictator wannabe. It makes it much easier to prosecute them all when accountability time rolls around. 🫤

Um…it’s NOT legal.

Your own article says why it's illegal: "Congress in 2020 passed a law allowing the Treasury Secretary ⁠to mint $1 coins to mark the 250th anniversary, but that law forbade designs portraying a living person" www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Needed to be a $0.2 piece. Mofo always likes to give his and it's always worthless.

It's the Trumpfuckistan Mint.

Critics have answered questions about the design's legality.

Legality is no issue when the criminal owns the judges and the law enforcement.

I can't say with 100% certainty that his rancid face bumped off Sacagawea & Susan B. Anthony, but you can be sure he's aware of this & will be gloating over it in posts soon enough. I *think* his bogus visage is on the only dollar coin being minted. And Illegally. Any numismatists out there?

Someone in authority ( if there is anyone in this country) should impound these illegal coins. And while they are are at it tear out the photo of Trump in American passports

“critics” huh

Keep correcting these media outlets. There is codified law. It’s not up to critical interpretation. Next time you get pulled over for speeding, try arguing what critics think of the law.

The law questions its legality. Hint: It's NOT legal.

There aren't any "questions" about it. It's illegal. Clearly and explicitly. 31 U.S.C. §5114(b). You can't "both-sides" this, and by doing so, you're defending the regime and propping up its lies.

They're not "raising questions," they're calling it blatantly illegal

"The law does not appear to allow living persons to appear on US money" We there seems to be 2 simple solutions to this issues: 1) recall coins 2)... you guessed already, don't make me say it

There is no law in fascist Trump administration

Awww, Reuters, you’re clearly afraid of the man-child suing you for calling it what it is, illegal.

It’s literally illegal, there are no questions you pedo Nazi apologists.

Hitler plates

"critics" and "questions"... its against the law to have a living person on US currency, fact

Our currency bout to go belly up, we gonna free fall. I’m buying stuff cuz money ain’t gonna be worth even a fire when it happens.

I don’t understand why they didn’t sue to stop the minting.

It’s not “currency,” from what I’m told, it’s “commemorative.” Still. Someone should sue!

All that's needed for it to be legal is he has to be dead. With one stroke he can fulfill that obligation and everyone will be happy.
