The presidential seal has been replaced by an eagle bearing President Trump’s signature. The eagle’s head faces right, not left, as on the seal. The 13 arrows representing the original states have disappeared. And the national motto, “E pluribus unum” — a Latin phrase that means “Out of many, one” — is gone.

Instead, both sides of the coin feature Trump’s official campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”

The changes don’t stop there. In addition to his signature, Trump’s name appears three times on the coin, which is thicker than those made for past presidents. And forget the traditional subdued silver and copper: Trump’s coin, a White House aide marveled, is “very gold.”

Jun 20th 2008- is the date of the article- when was he inaugurated?

It is emblazoned with a fierce-looking eagle clutching an olive branch in one claw and arrows in the other and is deliberately reminiscent of the official seal of the president of the United States. Around the top border are the words “Obama for America;” across the bottom is the campaign’s Web address. It also contains the logo of the Obama campaign, variously interpreted as a sunrise or a view down an open road.

Just above the eagle’s head are the words “Vero Possumus,” roughly translated “Yes we can.” Not exactly E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One), the motto on the presidential seal and the dollar bill. Then again, Mr. Obama is not the president.

Should have Mar-a-Lago on one side and a golf cart on the other.
 
So how many of these coins is he going to have made & who's going to pay for them? Will they be available from the Mint. I want one for my bathroom.

I don't think that's it. The real one isn't that tasteful.


Coin collector John Wertman holds a Trump "challenge coin." (Bill O'Leary/The Post)


It’s ‘very gold’: Presidential ‘challenge coin’ undergoes a Trumpian makeover
In Trump’s version of the coins, used by presidents for decades, the presidential seal and the national motto, “E pluribus unum,” are gone. But his name appears four times and his official campaign slogan appears twice, a move some ethics experts found questionable because the coins are often given to members of the military as personal mementos.

 
A fine tradition has been made tawdry and cheap. I have a collection acquired over decades from officers I respect. In my senior commands I had my own to give. They represent something high and honorable. I would not want one of Trump's.

It seems the RNC is paying for these coins. Good thing to keep in mind before writing a contribution check...your dollars are probably not helping your local candidate one iota...but Trumpie's coin is golder than any other...it's the goldest ever!

The ego of this maniac has no bounds. He intends to hand them out to supporters, and to military members which will cross the legality line, but whose looking?

Trump presidential challenge coin says 'Make America Great Again' instead of national motto | TheHill

He sees no problem with replacing the US Motto with his campaign slogan.

“For the commander in chief to give a political token with a campaign slogan on it to military officers would violate the important principle of separating the military from politics, as well as diminishing the tradition of the coin,” Trevor Potter, a Republican former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, told the Post.

Can this nightmare be over soon....please.

Did you read this part while formulating your whataboutism?

FENTON!!!! Love the coin tomfoolery. Did Fox News lead you astray again? Even the man's cion is a reason for you to rush to a sad personal defense? This is what happens when your sense of team spirit trumps your ability to think straight.

Have you learned your lesson about clinging to your absurd political team spirit at all costs yet?

Thanks for the chuckles! I have just the place for it & it involves water & porcelain.
 
If this isn't a joke, and I fear it's not, then the Trump-designed presidential coin is as tawdry as the man himself.

I don't think you have to analyze too much to see that he has a big self-image & ego problem. That coin is the height of bad taste. It's very tacky, almost a joke by itself.

Well, the whole Russian collusion false narrative fell through, and tax reform is now law, and they need something to get upset about, so they're focusing on this nonsense.

Oh I must have missed that episode of Fox where the False Narrative fell through.

Do you think the coin is very fine? Does it represent the man?

Don't get ahead of yourself on the Russian conspiracy/obstruction/Logan Act/money laundering front. You're being very premature. The fat lady hasn't sung yet. Flynn still has the microphone.

My only critique would be the ribbon with his name on it.
Had they kept the coin round it would have been perfect and a very beautiful coin.

It is still nice but the ribbon with his name bulks it a bit to much.
Other than that it is still a nice coin.
