43. If demand from coin collectors is large enough, they'll find a loophole.

Sat Dec 13, 2025, 12:16 PM

Saturday

I'm not a serious coin collector - I keep a set of circulating US currency, and I have a big fish bowl full of loose change I've brought back from countries I've visited,* but that's it.

That said, the coin collector community is huge, and based on what I've heard from a close friend who is a serious collector, a disproportionate number within that community trend right of center. I would imagine there's a lot of interest from such people for coins featuring Old Colostomy, and they'll be willing to pay good money for mint versions.

*I was in the UK last month. I think I only got one five pound note with Charles on it. Every coin I encountered featured Elizabeth II. And although putting a living person's image on a coin might be seen as bad luck, Elizabeth II is powerful evidence to the contrary.
