  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

...do other countries not have just random images on their coins because the government went "fuck it, why not"?

Nintendo lawyers are frothing at the mouth.

It says "TM" four times so that should be enough.

Austrailia doesn't either. This was a collectible coin. Their normal dollar coil is a few kangaroos on one side and Queen Elizebeth II (now it's King Charles) on the other.

Yeah, but all collectable coins can be used as regular coins if need be

It's true. There's a lot of special issues that fin their way into circulation.

In the Netherlands we have the current monarch, so it changes every 30 years or so. And sometimes we have a special occasion image, but I can't remember if we've had one of these since we got the Euro as our currency.

The Royal Dutch Mint sells commemorative Euro coins that are legal tender. Like this 750 years of Amsterdam 5 euro coin

Or this coast guard coin

Though these aren’t put into general circulation.

This I didn't know. All I knew were this one or this one (also in other denominations), which could be found in general circulation.
