IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
No action needed; monitor only if Treasury or Bureau of Engraving issues an actual design/production directive.
Why This Score
This is a symbolic request from a state official with no executive mechanism, no institutional lever, and no downstream policy action attached; it has near-zero constitutional impact and only marginal media/emotional resonance as a rehashed culture-war topic. It meets all noise gate criteria: low A score, null mechanism, narrow affected population, and pure symbolism with no institutional consequence.
