I was overcome with a sense of empowerment just reading the description of this how to.

The universe is not that out of whack… yet.

It’s one of MANY commemorative coins stinking up the air out there with tRump’s skull on them.

When the toonie - the Canadian $2 coin - first came out (so-called because the $1 coin featured a loon and quickly became known as the loonie), a physics prof I knew played a minor prank. The toonie is bi-metallic with a nickel outer annulus and bronze centre. The centre has the Queen on the front and a polar bear on the back. This prof dunked it in liquid nitrogen and because of differing coefficients of thermal expansion, was able to pop out the middle. He did this, flipped it over and put the coin back together with the polar bear on the front. Then he put it back in circulation. A few days later someone must have noticed -remember the coins had literally just come out - and this strange find was reported by the media here in Vancouver.

This chemistry professor’s version is slightly more destructive:

Come to think of it, maybe I want one. After all, living persons don’t appear on US currency :wink:

Well… we do have the presidential series of US $1 coins. But I think they wait until you are dead to make one. Or did they stop making them?

They will eventually have a postage stamp. Postal rules used to be you had to be dead to be on a stamp, but now they have like movie characters and the like, so I dunno what the rules are anymore.

Neat. I wonder how the Pound coin would behave in an electric coin shrinker?

Did you not see the thumbs up at the end? Thumbs up!

The kind of ill where the rules say he has to be dead to be on currency, but the Stupidest Universe closure rule sees him instead claim not to be white instead, causing grace cloture rules to apply? [Has no idea what that would be; maybe Hyakkimaru’s curse from Dororo happens to a certain number of anti-notables.]

Or the one where you put photoresist on the heads, swallowed the coins, and cured Crohn’s Disease forever for 82 cents?

Hacksaw, schmacksaw, I told them I wanted to cut the heads out with frickin’ lasers!

Seriously, until I read the headline I didn’t even know this was a thing. Who knew I’d lead such a sheltered life at 62…
