14. That's not factually accurate... but what to expect from a rando link on bluesky.

The law refers to "currency and securities" which is legal parlance means paper money produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing while coins are categorized separately produced by the US mint.

I guess the blueskyer couldn't take 5 minutes to google it.

"Commemorative Coins", as this would be.. HAVE BEEN MINTED with the likeness of living people before. There is precedence.

The last time was in 1995 when Eunice Shriver was pictured on a commemorative coin for the Special Olympics World Games.
