Can a legal challenge be launched to keep Trump's signature off the currency?

I know—or at least I hope—that the next Democratic president will undo everything Trump has done, like putting his name on things. I also hope they make him pay for the costs of those changes and for restoring the White House. In the meantime, can anyone challenge the ' signature on currency'?

I will leave it as a tip, or whatever, or ask for an older dollar.

2. In the car today, I was imagining chucking it at the White House or motorcade. Or a lot of people doing the same.

I think you can just refuse to use it and claim you question its legitimacy. That's what I'll be doing. I refuse to use those stamps with richard nixon's mug on them too.

I know some Native Americans who refuse to use $20 bills because jackson is on them.

4. No. I can't think of any party who has suffered a "particularized injury" that would confer standing.

"#TRUMPTREASON" on the front. When they come out with his signature, I'll start redacting his sig. Force the Fed to take them out of circulation.

and redact his signature and cross out his face. I think that is appropriate.
Some have said they will write pedophile, child f*cker, traitor, or many other examples on the bills.
