The US Treasury has prepared preliminary mock-up designs for a proposed $250 banknote featuring Donald Trump, but the bill cannot be issued without authorization from Congress. The government says that if Congress (Parliament) changes the law, the way will be cleared for printing the new note. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant stated that there is currently a rule in the US that prohibits the image of a living person from being printed on a note. Efforts are underway to change this rule. It should be noted that if the proposal is passed, Trump will be the first living person to be featured on a US note in more than 150 years.
Besant pointed out that the United States will celebrate its 250th anniversary in 2026. There’s nothing wrong with issuing a commemorative note featuring the president of the day. However, this is currently only a proposal and would require congressional approval to implement.
According to a Washington Post report, the Trump administration has directed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), the agency that prints US currency, to design a new note. The proposed design features Trump’s image in the center of the note.
