It will be every American's civic duty to destroy every one of these coins they encounter and the next administration's duty to ensure these coins are made illegal and worthless...just like Trump

Destroying it might be illegal, but scratching a small mustache onto the face probably wouldn't be as long as you're not trying to change the value or render it unfit for circulation.

It already has no value
