Nope. Your translation is wrong. It's not "on the hand/forehead of them" but "of the hand/forehead of him"
The "of" simply renders that portion to:
"... carve-effect on of-the hand of-them of-the right or on of-the foreheads of-them"
Literally nothing in this passage or otherwise speaks of anything related to coinage or monies imprinted with the image of any man.
This mark allows people on the earth at that time the ability to engage in commerce.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Those without it are killed.
By your interpretation, moniless people will be killed.
Laughable.

Now we're getting somewhere.
Worship or be killed.
Take the mark or be rendered unable to either buy or sell.
Got any other insights or corrections?

You do realise that when you and the other Christians behave like this you make yourselves and the point you are contending for appear to be quite silly.

Think outside the box, man. That would mean stop attacking every single thing certain people say. It's making you look bad. Some people here would rather discuss the topic at hand.
