“It’s expected to be the first coin made out of silver and bronzer,” Fallon cracked.
“Trump can finally live out his dream of putting himself in a vending machine,” the host continued.
But when the comedian showed the Treasury’s spec design, which features “1776-2026” at the bottom of one side, he veered into ominous territory.
“America 1776 to 2026 pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it?” he asked.
