Donald Trump plans to launch a $250 bill with his face printed in the center
The legislative proposal to have Donald Trump's face printed on a commemorative bill could be close to approval
President Donald Trump plans to launch a $250 dollar bill with his face printed on it, this as part of the agenda to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States.
During a conference, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded to Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy's concern about the possibility of seeing Trump's face on a $250 bill.
"Currently, no living person can appear on US currency. Right now, there is a legislative proposal to change this so that Donald J. Trump can appear on the $250 dollar bill. We have prepared everything in advance," he mentioned.
However, since the end of March, the Fine Arts Commission approved the final design of a commemorative coin with Trump's image, which is also part of the aforementioned celebrations.
As part of a preliminary design, the obverse of the coin featured an image of the nation's current president wearing a suit and tie, leaning forward over what appears to be a desk.
However, the Mint announced that they will not be ready for the celebrations, since the final design has not even been approved and production could take several months.
“While the coin will be struck to celebrate the 25th anniversary on July 4, 2026, this is not the planned date for issue,” wrote April Stafford, director of the Mint's Design Management Office.
What is approved is the appearance of the president's signature on one-dollar bills, something considered unprecedented, as it will be the first time that a sitting president appears on paper bills, which will be put into circulation before July 4.
It is noteworthy that, in 1926, as part of the activities to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the United States, then-president Calvin Coolidge placed his face on a one-dollar coin. Since then, no other active president had replicated such an action, much less on a bill in circulation.
