– Add silver coins to the odd collection of branded knick-knacks Donald Trump is selling to his supporters.
The former president on Saturday announced he selling “Trump Coins” bearing his face to supporters for $100 apiece. The announcement follows the sale of Trump Sneakers and “God Bless the USA” bibles, both of which were made available earlier this year.
“Trump Coins are designed by me and minted right here in the USA,” Trump said in a posting on Truth Social. “This beautiful, limited-edition coin commemorates our movement, our fight for freedom, prosperity and putting America first.”
The front of the coin features Trump’s face. The back shows the White House. The coins themselves measure 1.6-inches and are a “1oz .999% silver medallion.”
That puts the value of the precious metal in the coin at just $30.
Coins cannot be returned and orders cannot be cancelled once made, according to the website selling the coins. In addition, the website says, “The coins are intended as collectible items for individual enjoyment only, and not for investment purposes. The coins are not political and have nothing to do with any political campaign.”
Coins are the latest in a line of products Trump has been selling. In July, a Trump-owned company began selling $299 sneakers that featured an image of him smeared with blood following an assassination attempt. Those were different than the $399 gold sneakers he introduced in February at Sneaker Con.
Two years ago, he launched an NFT trading card collection. And in March, he began selling patriotic bibles for $60 which included a copy of the U. S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance. And just last week, he unveiled the World Liberty Financial crypto token, though details on that are still fuzzy.

I mean he is a terrible person for this among other things, but isn’t this just how you sell something? No shit he isn’t gonna sell them for resource value and while they are definitely overpriced, he knows his supporters will but them anyways.
Calling these *coins* is close to false advertisement in my book, as coins are typically money. *Medallion* would be a more accurate term.

Well, to put a positive spin on it, that’s $30 more value than his NFT trading cards.

I hate Trump as much as the next person but this is how sales work. Every merchant sells their product for more than it is worth. That’s how they make a profit. You’d be surprised how high the markup on many goods actually is.

I mean, I think unlike a lot of other stuff he does, this isnt problematic. Believe it or not, it doesnt actually cost them 51 cents to make you those souvenir pennies at theme parks

The only coin where the real value is the grift you made along the way

This is literally capitalism in one sentence. Yeah it’s stupid but every other company in America does this and nobody seems to care.

MMW We’ll soon find out they’re actually zinc or nickel silver with fine silver plating (.999) and barely worth a dime.

He should be on the Home Shopping Network.

People think this is so different than the stuff THEY buy.

Wait… 0.999%????
I’m sure someone meant to say something else (like omitting the %), but if that’s right, it’s less than 1% silver.
Could a typo, or could just be part of the grift. I mean, why have the things cost $30 to make when they could cost $.30?

The unsettling engraving of his fat head is $70.

I mean, that’s decent value from him. lol
I would have guessed they would be $0.005 in plastic.

Great, silver will be useless now.

Trump believes that his minted worthless coin is cryptocurrency.

But once he’s elected they become legal tender and the value skyrockets!
