Russian company minting "In Trump we trust" coins

[Cripplecreek]

A Russian metal working company has minted a sterling silver coin to commemorate President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, featuring Mr. Trump’s face and the slogan “In Trump we trust.”

The Associated Press Television News interviewed the man in charge of the company, who said the limited edition of 45 coins were designed to express his and other Russian business leaders’ “hopes associated with Trump.”

Vladimir Vasyukhin, director of the “Art-Grani” company about 650 miles east of Moscow, in south-central Russia’s Chelyabinsk region, told APTN, “there are more hopes associated with Trump with regards to the lifting of sanctions; maybe the environment (between the U.S. and Russia) will change.”

An interesting bit of capitalism, that.

Better than the Obama commemorative coins that were made in China.

Were those the ones with the stickers on them, or were those 'layered in 14 milligrams of 24 karat gold'?

But who will he sell them to? Trumpers hate foreign made products. Besides, won't Trump force him to open up shop in this country?

Sort of the equivalent of giving 0bama the Nobel Prize.

Anyone who wants to speculate on the value of a .925 silver coin with Trump's name on it. It's still a known quality of silver (assuming that's reliable). Aside from that, I think coin collectors might surprise you, pro Trump or not.
