Looks like a Karen. Did they use AI to design this?

Did they? Would this administration have even bothered to ask? And if they did, and the family wanted changes, would they have just kept quiet because they wouldn’t want to be attacked on social media?

If by "this administration" you mean that of the Governor of California, a simple reading of the original post would have pointed you to...

According to the Steve Jobs Archive, which championed the design with support from California governor Gavin Newsom, Jobs "felt a deep sense of connection to and gratitude for California's natural beauty."

The innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of Steve Jobs embodied the best of California, creating the future we all know today," said Newsom in a press release announcing the coin's circulation. "His tenacity and fearless pursuit of the California Dream made so many American dreams possible. May we all attempt to fill his shoes as we seek our own California Dreams."

Why is Ellen DeGeneres floating on a cushion?

EDIT: Ok, so I was pipped at the post!

Can I just buy one from somebody?

Yes, the US Mint ships outside the US and always has. Buy our money all you want.

You'll be ordering 25 at a time, because that's the minimum purchase - the other being a bag of 100. Of course, you will probably be able to pay significantly more on eBay (or some other similar-type site) for individual coins.

That was my immediate thought. Bizarre that the depiction barely resembles SJ 😔

So, are there any differences on the once made in Philadelphia and the ones from Denver, or are they minting identical coins?

Each Mint has its own mint mark, but the coins are otherwise the same.

You should Google the difference between P and D minted coins. The "strike" is technically the same (other than the mint location indicator), but there are differences that most collectors consider when purchasing coins.

In the case of non-limited collectible coins like this, it probably makes no difference. But 25 years from now, who knows how much they'll be worth.

Does it has OTA updates ? They do not mention a lot of important things about this product. For example what is its IP rating for dust and water resistance ? What's the battery life ? Is it thinner than the back of MacBook Air ? Does it supports ApplePay ? Tap to pay ? What about Apple Wallet ???
I mean... it's cool we have this new product but why only 1 model ? Where is the Cook coin ? Or the Ternus bill ? And.... what about the Woz flying car ? Can we have the Ive toilet bowl cleaner please (an aluminuuuuum stick, cost 99999$, cleans nothing, does nothing but it's slim, shiny, light and unique). By the way... where can I buy a case and a screen protector for the Steve Jobs coin ???
