I remember the 200th anniversary. I particularly remember red, white, and blue products in stores including grocery stores.

BTW, the coin looks terrible. They didn't change his jowls even slightly. It looks like they added a line to emphasize the point. The '80's style hair is also pretty strange.

If that hair isn't illegal it should be.

Could well be.

Living people are rarely featured on U.S. money. Congress has imposed various restrictions on the ability of Treasury to feature living people and living presidents on currency. It’s not clear whether the latest Trump coin envisioned by the Treasury Department would run afoul of those laws.

But this administration don't need no stinkin' laws...
