Trump's image on a gold coin? His hand-picked panel will decide on the idea that another federal committee has refused to consider.

A federal “arts” commission will weigh whether to approve a commemorative gold coin featuring #Trump on Thursday, the admin’s latest effort to celebrate the president, even as Democrats and members of another federal committee say the idea is deeply inappropriate & potentially #illegal.

Trump’s hand-picked panel votes to put his face on a U.S. gold coin

The proposal had been rejected by members of a separate federal coin committee — and panned by former member Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

US Mint can begin producing #Trump gold #coin after arts commission approves design

A federal arts commission on Thursday approved the final design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin bearing Trump’s image to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday on July 4.

The vote by the US Commission of “Fine Arts”, whose members were appointed by Trump earlier this year, was without objection. The coin’s size & denomination are still under discussion.

US Mint can begin producing Trump commemorative coin

A federal arts commission has approved the design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin bearing President Donald Trump's image to celebrate America's 250th birthday. The vote Thursday by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts clears the way for the U.S. Mint to begin production. All the panel's members were appointed by the Republican president. Federal law bars living presidents from appearing on U.S. currency unless the Treasury secretary authorizes it in certain instances. The size and denomination of the coin haven't been decided, but some commissioners advocated for the largest size coin, which could run about 3 inches in diameter.

My Head’s Exploding 🤯 💥

@Nonilex The denomination should be -$100. Anyone owning one automatically has $100 less than before owning. This would reflect what we ‘mere mortals’ are experiencing in #PresidentEpsteins real world.
