Rep. Joe Wilson, R- S.C., announced that he plans to put forward a proposal for the development of a $250 bill that features President Donald Trump.
"Grateful to announce that I am drafting legislation to direct the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring Donald J. Trump," the congressman declared in a post on X.
"Bidenflation has destroyed the economy forcing American families to carry more cash. Most valuable bill for most valuable President!" he added.
Current U.S. law indicates that only the portrait of a dead person may appear on U.S. currency and securities.
Wilson, who has served in the House of Representatives for more than two decades, is not the only GOP lawmaker who wants to honor the current president.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., put forward a measure last month that calls for Trump's likeness to be added to Mount Rushmore.

This is stupidity.
Stop the Penny and nickel. Make 10, 25 and 50....
I actually do. Started working...my first job back in that day. My job at an amusement park was sufficient. I think I was making $2.50 per hour with a .50 bonus per hour at the end of the season.
My how things have changed since then.
My first real job at 17 was working in a tire retreading shop at minimum wage, $1.60/hour. I basically half worked my self to death for ten days back then for a hundred bucks.
Make the Penny Great Again.
The fiat dollar is at its end. A reset is due, wipes out the debt to fiat bankster currency printers, which we borrowed at interest, plus 2%+ inflation. The replacement currency will be PM-backed. There is more ***VALUE*** in one copper penny than in $1 of a Fed Reserve Note.
Having a coin worth more than its face value is not new - compare a 3cent to mint penny to a $2900 to mind ounce of gold.
Maybe there is something in the South Carolina water supply. What a pork-pie dufuss! At best, this is like crazy women sending selfies to Mangione.
Shut up and do the work! And leave the boss alone, he’s busy!
Well put
Trump stopped production of the penny a few weeks ago. I am turning mine in to the bank today. Then stopping by the coin shop to pick up some more metals.
Not many people are going to carry that much cash anymore, I usually have about a hundred in my pocket, and that’s usually for groceries, gas.
Don't know where you got your number from.
That sounds like it would make an interesting tribute, sometime in the future, but right now , we have borders to reestablish, trans and dei movements to manage and many
DOGEs to chase.
Idiots drunk on (fragile) power creating stupidity like this which makes them look like fools and causes them to lose power.
Why does Wilson insist on wasting everyone’s time. $250 bill??It’s going no where...by law.
stupid or distraction
But if hyperinflation is around the corner, they will print fiat currency like this to assuage the masses.
The only way I’d accept something like this is under a gold standard. Otherwise it is hyperinflationary.
IOW,
There's already a half shekel.
Joseph, Cyrus, Donald "Mordecai" Trump and so on.. a "composite character" because not only is time of the essence, it's so hard to find good help these days.
Midnight oil (the secret ingredient for a perpetually burning bush, so to speak) is not sold in stores.
"Fragrant cane" (קְנֵה-בֹשֶׂם, qənē-ḇōsem, sometimes translated as calamus) 250 shekels (about 3 kg (6.6 lb))...Exodus 30:15-16>>>
While sources agree about the identity of four of the five ingredients of anointing oil, the identity of the fifth, kaneh bosem, has been a matter of debate.

The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

Gee, it must all be a 🪙 coin-cidence..
I agree, but not for the same reasons.
Of course, putting a sitting president on our currency, stamps, etc., is inappropriate. But I take it Pubbie congress critters must believe simply proposing such gestures pays off for them?
Yep, perhaps $1k-1.2K to mine it, that’s wholesale. But apparently $2900 ATM retail.
One of the worst jobs I had was during ‘67 in the summer at Revlon in Edison N.J. I was at the end of the assembly line taping 80 lb. boxes of “Dippity Doo” hair styling gel. Tape up a box and put it on a skid. For 8 hours. I was in great shape, but beat to hell by the end of the day, and I would smell like a French whorehouse, everyone who worked there did. Had to take a shower as soon as I got home. The old women who worked there on the lines swore like drunken sailors, funny stuff.
