If Treasury chooses to ignore standing law and tradition and distributes a

Never the $2 bill or any other short-duration minted coin or currency. While I hope to hell it doesn't happen, I think it will end up being ceremonial--about like those Franklin Mint pieces.

It will be a Franklin Mint type coin, and Krasnov will get a cut of the sales.

traditionally, the presidents on coins have to be dead first before they can be put on coins.

there was an old saying when playing dungeons and dragons, "if you name your character "Conan", it will die quickly"

If such a coin is created the mint will sell it, like it does with other commemorative coins, for many times its nominal value. So if someone gives it to me as a dollar coin I’ll take and resell it to some trumper on eBay for a tidy profit.
