Do you not understand these are not issued for circulation? Are you truly that clueless?

DDForTruth's avatar

Pretty sure figuring out what the "L" stands for ain't gonna be hard on this one!

JUST sayin'...

CatsRtheBest's avatar

"Loser" or "Liberal?" Wait...is there a difference? LingOL

Heather B's avatar

only in the spelling. 😂

Kitt Lo's avatar

Ok y'all are treading a thin line here. No need to stupid... I mean STOOP! - to L's level.

The Great Resist's avatar

I love that you pinned that comment 😂👏👏🤣

Juju's avatar

Yes! She has done this often with the rudest comments from the most ignorant readers. 🤣 Such a fabulous way to deal with them

Vince's avatar

I know, I know this is a dumb question, but what is the significance of pinning a comment. I saw the pin icon, but what does it do?

The Great Resist's avatar

It puts it at the top of all the comments so everyone sees it. Otherwise, I think comments are sorted by most likes or by oldest/newest, depending on the user’s settings.

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

A funny thing about "rude AND wrong" is that they are almost always holding hands with stupid.

Kaycee's avatar

I wish I could give you 100 ♥️'s for this response and there should be a 👎🏼 for people like L. who make ridiculous and asinine comments like she posted.

Denise Lewis's avatar

LOL!

Jenna McCarthy's avatar

Hahahahahahah you are priceless. (Are you an actual human?) You linked to a $250 Trump coin that comes out next month. RIGHT BELOW IT, in the "coins currently in circulation" section, you'll see the ONE DOLLAR coin I wrote about.

So yeah, I guess research IS so hard. I'm glad ONE of us can do it. ;)

Tonee norman's avatar

I wish there were even better “LOL” emoji than the choices I have.

I am clutching my stomach laughing!

Kitt Lo's avatar

Omg. I take back what I said earlier. You really CAN'T fix stupid!

CatsRtheBest's avatar

Wow. You display even a stronger example of you being clueless. Amazing. You should quit while you are behind. So, so far behind.

Il faut savoir ~'s avatar

Need a shovel? Keep digging please; you are entertaining us and we are amused!

L.'s avatar

According to my bank these are a commemorative issue, not circulation. So, you and yahoo are calling DeptTreasury liars. Got it.

GregWA's avatar

Read the story: commemorative issue was just a way of getting around the rules on putting a living person's face on them.

According to Grok, about half of the 16 million coins minted so far have been sold in collector sales (25 and 100 coin lots). The other half will be circulated.

Now, the US Mint might be lying about that, it's part of the Government after all and there are so many liberals in the Government that we will never be able to trust them.

But it's just as anyone might be lying about anything...oh, is that what the "L" stands for?

Juju's avatar

Wait wait, your BANK is the one to tell you that, yet you jumped to us calling the DeptTreasury liars. We are calling your bank liars. They are not the same. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡

KatWarrior's avatar

No room for assholes on this platform! Go crawl back in your hole, L.!

CatsRtheBest's avatar

From the US Treasury X post:

“ Available for purchase today at 12PM ET: 2026 President Donald J. Trump $1 Coin. _These coins are also in circulation_, so check your pocket change. Collect them today! #CoinCollecting #America250

bit.ly/4wMEEbC”

Helps to do a little research or click on her links in the story before you accuse someone of being “clueless” less you look clueless yourself.

L.'s avatar

So asking my bank about them was the wrong thing to do. Talk about clueless.

Jenna McCarthy's avatar

Hey, I know! Try this: "Whoops, my bad. I guess I got some bogus info. Apologies."

Kelliann's avatar

Many people have Lost the ability to admit their wrongdoing. Add to the list

Laura Kasner's avatar

Just called my bank. My banker “googled” it because they have had no communication from the higher ups on these coins.

I cautioned her about using the Google. 😂

CraigN's avatar

Hahaha. "Talk about clueless" greatest self own ever. L. must bank at one of these liberal banks. I Googled, with caution, "liberal banks" and got this: https://share.google/aimode/qD6nK8ITmhnqsddiE

Denise Lewis's avatar

Right! If delivered properly wouldn't have had egg on face in the first place even with wrong info.

CatsRtheBest's avatar

So you continue to deny what the *US Treasury" said? And the additional link that Jenna posted above? OK, believe your bank, that's OK. It's not like this is a major, life-altering issue.

Juju's avatar

Apparently she doesn’t realize real flawed people work at businesses, even banks. But when you elevate certain institutions to God level you can’t imagine they would ever lie OR be wholly incompetent with their jobs. 🤣🤪

Leslie Murphree's avatar

Did you ask your bank if the Covid jabs were safe & effective???

Laura Kasner's avatar

Great idea Sissy! 🤣😂🤣

Juju's avatar

Laughed out loud at this. Belly laugh. Lololol

L.'s avatar

Sounds like you need a booster, sweety.

Commoncents's avatar

Safe and Effective

Kitt Lo's avatar

The coin might not be safe, but it sure is effective!

Tonya's avatar

Jenna, be reasonable. Who has a *single* mystery key in their junk drawer?

Jenna McCarthy's avatar

* busted lying

GregWA's avatar

I used to have a skeleton key in my drawer. It was from my "YOUT". The house I grew up in had skeleton keyed doors, inside and the front door. The key I had was for the inside doors.

At least I thought it was. I'd had it so long, I'd forgotten if this was the key from my yout or if it was a thrift shop find that reminded me of it.

Then a couple of my sisters and I visited that old house. The new owners were kind enough to invite us in and have a look around. What a hoot that was!

Anyway, I gave them the key...and it worked! AND...we gave them a skeleton key for the front door that my brother had held onto...it worked too. They never used that front door lock, just had a deadbolt installed above it. Now they have both locks.

115 year old house. A baby by NE standards or Europe, but for the Pac NW, kind of old.

Mike Lee's avatar

My wife has a key that she swears will open any door in France. A key like that you don't keep in the junk drawer.

GregWA's avatar

What a thing to "swear"! She sounds like a hoot!

SadieJay's avatar

I always thought YOUT was spelled UTE. Darn it all.

GregWA's avatar

James's avatar

Hope everything is okay there! Hopefully no broken glass, holes in the roof, or flooding?

Kitt Lo's avatar

Miraculously, house untouched. Ancient oak (ok, really old) came down and bent a section of my hillbilly pool, which is still holding water, another miracle. Others not so lucky. It was a bad one. Thanks for asking!

Kaycee's avatar

I do! In fact, I have all those things in my junk drawer! 😂

Anyone NOT voting “I’m SO down!”, we need to have a word. 😆 I’m done with all the outrage over every breath that man takes. My mind is already imagining epoxying these suckers to the trim of my house, maybe my car. 🤣🤣

ohoh I admit, I voted it might be fun to do once. I don't go to liberal coffee shops, so that would be a wild safari type adventure for me.

In fact it should come as a downloadable add-on that comes from your phone speaker when you go to pay in Trump coins at the coffee shop. It's guaranteed to turn all the heads in the joint just in time to see their heads explode.

DDForTruth's avatar

😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Juju's avatar

We definitely need a theme song to play when spending them 🤣🤣

Vee's avatar

Imagine for a minute if you will, if Biden or Kamala was President and instead of using their time and effort wisely to do things like ending the ongoing clot shots, helping the vaccine injured, stopping the 5G AI surveillance state roll out, or just do anything that remotely helps the average American, they instead decided to waste time and resources on printing their faces on coins to make you love/hate them more. 🙄

Capitalism isn't the death cult. The ruling predator class is the actual death cult in charge and they are mocking all of us while we continue to tune into the bread and circus show.

Jenna McCarthy's avatar

I’m not going to lie, they do provide endless evidence to support your argument…😂

Copernicus's avatar

Although Trump is actually getting stuff done. A lot of stuff. More in two years than most presidents in eight.

No, not everything we'd like.

No, not by permanent law-making, unfortunately.

So he gets to do silly, arrogant, harmless stuff like this if he wants to.

Vee's avatar

Yea, what kind of stuff? Going to war with Iran? Giving billions to the AI surveillance state? Continuing to kill and injury Americans with his beautiful death shots? Hold anyone in government accountable?

Perhaps it went something like this:

JD: Mr. President, I have an idea. It could help raise money for, Idk, Social Security or that cool thing where you give babies a thousand bucks. Remember Santa Bucks where they charged $2 for a $1 bill with Santa on it? People loved it! I collected them and gave them as stocking stuffers.

We could put you on a coin and charge more than double the price as well. People will love it— or not. Either way, it’ll be fun.

DJT: Good plan. Send it up the ladder and tell them I’m here for it. We’ll make BILLIONS and we can bottle the tears of the liberals forced to use the coins— or they can throw them in a drawer.

Maybe we can sell the tears next year.

JD: Will do, Mr. President!

DJT: What’s next on the agenda? Have we bought Greenland so as to prevent other nations from getting there and placing NUKES within firing range of us? Oh, yeah… We did.

Have we made it automatic that babies get the $1000 at birth, even if their parents fail to register?

Are they finished getting that gang of ruthless tyrants out of CO? Tren de Agua or whatever— that had taken over the hotel and were raping and killing people in their own homes? Did we deport them?

JD: Check, check, and check, Mr. President.

DJT: Ok, what’s next?

Richard schoenenberger's avatar

And maybe make drug companies liable for adverse effects. Erase the liability shield.

KC & the Sunshine's avatar

I’m hoping and praying this occurs right after mid terms. Meanwhile, the onus is on parents and themselves to read, research. Don’t get vaccines until they are safe. NONE of them are safe.

Proberta's avatar

"...the onus is on parents and themselves to read, research"

Unfortunately there is a Trump media censorship blackout on the words 'C0vid Vaxxine Deaths' so the majority of Americans have no idea the vaxxine is the reason they're sick and their loved ones are dying.

KC & the Sunshine's avatar

Every day, I put the word out. There are loads of ways around the little tricks…

I used to be just chapped about it, but realized pouting never changed a thing.

Now I sort of channel

Richard schoenenberger's avatar

Hoping RFK is still working on it..:behind the scenes hopefully.

linda e's avatar

congress needs to change the law to get rid of the liability shield.

SHug's avatar

To get something like that done, requires the damn congress critters, so maybe he can get rolling on that stuff after midterms.

Mike Myhre's avatar

I have to agree with you Vee.

It is all a distraction. And there isn't anything more distracting than Trump being a scapegoat for everything in government. A one stop shop for haters. For supporters, there are small things that they can claim as accomplishments, but nothing substantial.

We are still in endless wars. We still have runaway inflation. We still have big pharma owning everything.

"We still have big pharma owning everything."

Vee, we all need a laugh break from hunting and gather food stuffs that aren't poison OR tap water that's not 75% medication/heavy metals OR chemtrails dumped on our heads making us walking zombies poisoning the literal air we breath. I LOVE Trumps time for a sense of humor about how hard LIFE really is brought to us by the Democrats. Give me that kind of break anytime. I'm in for the coins, Sacagawea (AKA Elizabeth Warren) be damned.

Juju's avatar

Lighten up, Vee, try to leave your doom and gloom for a bit and have some fun. I know you are capable. You’ve made even me laugh before and there is no mutual admiration between us. 🤣🤣🤣 You can do it!!!

Vee's avatar

I have lots of fun pointing out the absurdity of supporting and cheering on the federal government that continues to actively poison, kill, and enslave Americans. It still blows my mind that people don't understand the scam of statism. Regardless of who is wearing the crown, the same things remain the same. The rich and powerful continue to centralize and gain more power while us average folk continue to lose more liberties and rights. The predatory class has played their Trump card for the second time and here we are again with the same crap with us arguing if we agree better off with red or blue.

Rebecca Beck's avatar

Are you talking about the administration that is building the first Oil refinery in 40 years to make U.S. more self sufficient, oh also the first steel mill in OHIO first in 30, Oh also Military shipyard first in 30 years, oh and a brand new Military base first in 30 years AND updating ALL military housing across the nation, oh and addling 130,000 job just in the shipyard alone? ALL paid for with TARIFFS. I'm glad you admit you are delusional cuz definitely are good as self diagnosis. OMG open your eyes.

Vee's avatar

Omg so great!! Look at all of this money that we have given to the military bio pharmaceutical complex that continues to kill and injure Americans! Thank you Trump for Operation Warp Speed!!

Juju's avatar

Nobody will ever fit your approval requirement, Vee. Give it a rest. We all see the same things as you yet you’re ignoring more than half of it that gives hope and worthy of approval, and all you do is push the negativity. Lighten up, dude.

Jenna gives us opportunities to come together and giggle. You love to piss on that fun.

Vee's avatar

That's not true at all. Those of us in Camp 3 are still patiently waiting for those in Camp 2 to join us by the fire. In the meantime, I'll keep pointing out the hypocrisy and absurdity of cheering on the current corporate backed tyrant.

You mean I shouldn't whip out my Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea dollar coins as tips anymore! (Not to mention my Eisenhower dollar and Standing Eagly dollar coins either.) I'm just going to have to go to my junk drawer with the "dead batteries, some dried-out pens, and a single mystery key" (Jenna nailed that one!) and add those Trump dollars too! Looks like I'll have to move again so I can at least move that "stuff" so that they may see the light of day!

I can't wait to go to my bank next month, buy a roll of Trump coins and put them in the junk drawer, too. BUT, since these coins have a purpose I'll probably use them "liberally."

All of the above plus a few rusty razor blades (actually), several of the little plastic tabs you use to close a bag of bread (WHY THO?) and a stack of sticky notes that have lost their stick. #What’sInYOURJunkDrawer

Juju's avatar

Nonskid rounds to place under furniture legs, but they no longer stick, old mini 3M hooks with no matching adhesive cluttering every spare corner, about fifty 90° Allen wrench thingys that came with assembly instructions, wood markers and wood wax crayons, burnt out nightlight bulbs, and various two-plug to three-plug outlet converters.

Step aside and let a real hoarder speak, young man, I KNOW for certain two of mine unlock a metal filing cabinet from 1992 at the corporate offices I used to work at that had the building torn down when the land was sold almost 30 years later. It’s more like hoarding memories. 🤣

Oh my, I'm getting old.

David Baldwin's avatar

It's the first version of a modern variety store from the early 1900's. The stores were usually small and used to charge mostly 5 and 10 cents for things. Kind of like today's Dollar Store (where a significant number of items are more than a dollar). GC Murphy's, Woolworth's, etc were the most popular. They evolved into K-Mart, Murphy Mart, etc. Just think of a Walmart and downsize the square footage 10 times. I'm thinking today's stores should be called "5 and 10 Dollar" stores.

Jenna McCarthy's avatar

Our Woolworths had a little diner counter where you could get a grilled cheese sandwich for like $.50. Oh and Ben Franklin and TG&Y were the best for candy. 😉

Anna Lafferty's avatar

I always popped a balloon at Woolworth's counter to try to get a 1 cent banana split!

Lisa's avatar

The Woolworth’s in my city also had the diner counter. I loved getting root beer floats there. Another 5&10 we had was TG&Y. I still have the little blue “porch cane” seat chair I begged my mom to buy me back in the early ‘60’s. Next to this store was a Top-Value (aka Yellow Stamps) redemption center. My mom redeemed many a “book” there for household items. Of course I was the one who licked every stamp & stuck into those books 🤣

Oh the memories❣️

Bgagnon's avatar

7th grade - most fun ever - ride bus to downtown with gal pals and spend hours in Woolworths “shopping” and then have a soda at the counter !!!

Jennifer McDermott's avatar

They always had a good candy section. Floors were always uneven, wooden floors sometimes a food counter where old weird men hung out.

GregWA's avatar

Funny! I'll bet those "old weird men" were just guys in their 50s. But to a kid, that's an old man. And all "old people" are weird.

Or, they really were weird?

Yes and the aroma when you walked in.

Smelled like those candy- coated roasted peanuts.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

Triggering libs is my one of my favorite things; wearing a pro Trump t-shirt to the grocery store is always a winning bet. I have several: a shirt that says "I'm voting for the Felon and the Hillbilly, (which triggered one local liberal to write a letter to the editor of our newspaper), and another shirt that says "No one cares if you're offended." The Trump coins look to be even more fun. Someone should write a book on how easy trolling liberals is.

Juju's avatar

“Triggering libs is my one of my favorite things” We need to meet for coffee 🤣🤣

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

That's be great! I have lots of ideas, as I'm sure you do too and I'm always looking for new material!

Carrie R Meyer's avatar

Thanks for the hilarity. I hope my local bank gets the coins soon so I can hand them out at our Thanksgiving family gathering. Only after dessert, of course, since I do like turkey and pumpkin pie.

Tracy Sanders's avatar

Keep cash alive! Coins are real money instead of debt instruments from Federal Reserve private banking cartel.

Carrie R Meyer's avatar

Excellent point. I'm always lecturing my under 60 friends about the dangers of letting cash be replaced with digital currency. To most of them, unless something is in their phone, they have no use for it.

Proberta's avatar

"...the dangers of letting cash be replaced with digital currency"

Personnally I am less worried about Socialism, Capitalism, or Communism than I am about Totalitarianism, when the people have no authority and the government weilds absolute control, which will come with digital currency, and the Social Credit Score.

Centralized Digital Banking is Totalitarianism, and Totalitarianism is the New World 0rder.

GregWA's avatar

It will be interesting to see what the cell phone addicts do when the lights go out.

If the Green New Deal crap continues (in spite of Trump's best efforts, big solar projects are proceeding), we will blackouts like CA, no lights, no power for anything...including cell towers.

What if that went on for a day? A week?

I'm almost hope we find out, except for the people who would be truly harmed (hospitals backup power goes out, old and/or poor freezing in winter, sweating in summer, etc.)

I like that idea, I might even pay the premium to do something like that.

During the 2024 campaign, when we ate at a sit down place, my hubby and I left tips in cash with a note - no tax on tips - vote Trump. We don't go to liberal coffee shops though, we have a couple of conservative owned ones in our town, but still, might find an opportunity to leave a tip with a lib if we get our hands on some Trump coinage.

I had to say 'sorry I'm British' (I'm not but hubs is) because they only put living people (kings/queens, living golfers) on money - can't figure out why it's such a problem here. . . although I do think it's hilarious that libs will be so upset. If only I went to a coffee shop once in a while . . .

Sooooo fun in here this morning. Best tasting coffee I’ve ever had is what I’m drinking while laughing with all of you. 😂
