Newsom Asks Public to Help Design New California Coin, Instantly Regrets It

Did he ever see this going well?

California Gov. Gavin Newsom took to X to ask for submissions on a coin design for the state and the replies were exactly what you’d expect.

But maybe not what Newsom expected — not even his Taylor Swift reference helped.

The coin is to be part of a U.S. Mint series that salutes innovation in each of the 50 states. It’s the kind of idea that can generate a lot of positive reaction.

But Newsom probably didn’t love the response. The Democrat quickly got hundreds of designs in his comments featuring different negative aspects of the Golden State.

Many responses featured designs that highlighted the overwhelming homeless crisis going on in urban areas, featuring tents and debris on coins.

Others submitted designs that highlighted the ongoing problems San Francisco faces of human fecal matter being seen on city streets.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a discussion of California without mentioning the mass exodus of residents and sky-high gas prices in the state.

My personal favorite was a user who submitted a President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping coin, mocking Biden, Newsom and the effort to clean up San Francisco for a Biden meeting with the Chinese dictator all at once.

It’s unclear how Newsom and his staffers ever thought this would be a good idea.

While perhaps the idea of having the citizenry design a coin is neat, taking to social media while throwing in a crummy Taylor Swift reference is a recipe for disaster. (But when it comes to recipes for disaster, Newsom is a Michelin-star chef.)

What will the actual California “innovation” coin look like? Who knows at this point?

But what we do know is that lots of people won’t let Newsom forget just how badly he’s messed up the once-great state of California.
