Thayer Amendment - 1866:

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Can-a-Living-Person-Appear-on-US-Currency

"The Thayer Amendment: This 1866 law prohibited the use of the image of any living person on “the bonds, securities, notes, or postal currency of the United States.” It was an outgrowth of a silly act of vanity committed by Treasury Department official Spencer Clark, who decided to put himself on banknotes intended to honor explorer William Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame. The congressional bill authorizing the creation of the note only specified that it should honor “Clark,” and so Spencer Clark decided to memorialize himself."

I didn't know the history on that, that's hilarious that it was passed as a "fuck you, in particular!" for one guy!

It’s quite untoward to have a pedophile’s visage on any of our currency.

Isn't a person supposed to be dead first before we put their face on currency? I think the people advocating for this must be wanting it to be true! And wouldn't that be considered a threat to our lovely dearest Sir, King Pedo?

Bessent looks like Jim Carrey playing a cartoonishly over-the-top villain.

The PEDOllar bill

Can’t be on currency? Put yourself on a non-circulating “commemorative” bill “for collectors” and sell them. Problem solved. Anyone want to take bets that this is what will happen?

I don't know why they keep using the idiotic looking down portrait of him for everything. He looks so insecure, like he's trying to be tough and failing.

$250 that's a weird denomination. How about the Epstein files?

Why not put him on the $1000 bill… then the $10000… and then the $100000000 bill…heck we could be the next Zimbabwe dollar

dumpy mcturdstain must be compensating HARD (teehee) if he needs to plaster his orange turdstain face on everything :/

It’ll be the pedo bill.

$250? Seems a weird denomination. Why not the $47 bill? I'd bet most Americans could scrape together $47 and frame it over their microwave oven. But $250? That's a lot of dough.

Does he know he doesn't get royalties? Or does he? Is there a bill in the works I haven't heard about?

Who carries $250 in cash?

I've already seen anti-Pumkinhead things on currency, this bill is going to be the most defaced currency ever.

Also, Bessent is such a useless suck-up.

And certainly you can trust the word of a grossly unqualified sycophant.

Cool, but no thanks.

Illegal

Is that brown lipstick Bessent is wearing?

Bessent just looks so much like a bad parody of a guy you want to punch in the face.

I've already vowed not to accept any currency with his signature on it. Putting his mug shot on it will only make that easier.

He looks like Stephen King's evil brother.

My prediction: It'll become the most used bill for fraud, drugs and money laundering!

Bessent: Nothing 'untoward' about fellating Trump

Firstively no other person in US history got to choose which portrait of theirs went on our money.

And secondish the jokes on him because I'll never see it because I never have that much cash anyways.
