Trump Coin Debate Sparks Penny Discussion

0:00A reader from Anchorage, named Chuck Steelestra, fired off a sharp letter to the local paper, slamming the idea of the U.S. Mint making a gold coin to. Honored Donald Trump, he points out it would break the law, but calls it a waste anyway. Steelestra gets clever with his comeback, saying Trump would fit better on a penny. Those coins have that orange tint, and it costs the government three times with their worth to produce each one. This kind of jab highlights ongoing debates about presidential perks and taxpayer money. These keep losing value in production costs, sparking talks on whether to ditch them altogether. No big follow-up yet on Trump's coin plans, but letters like this show folks are watching government spending closely. Steelestra urges disclosing connections when writing in.
