The U.S. Treasury Department announces plans to include President Donald Trump's signature on all new U.S. paper currency, marking a historic first for a sitting president.
The U.S. Treasury Department has announced plans to include President Donald Trump's signature on all new U.S. paper currency, marking the first time a sitting president's signature will appear on the nation's money. Traditionally, U.S. banknotes have featured the signatures of the Treasury Secretary and the Treasurer.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that President Trump has put the country on a path towards "unprecedented economic growth" and "fiscal strength and stability," and the change would recognize his "historic achievements."
This decision is part of a broader effort to commemorate America's 250th anniversary of independence in 2026. Other initiatives include the approval of a 24-carat commemorative gold coin featuring President Trump's image.
The move has drawn criticism from some political figures. California Governor Gavin Newsom commented, "Now Americans will know exactly who to blame as they're paying more for groceries, gas, rent, and health care."
The Treasury Department has not specified when the new currency bearing President Trump's signature will enter circulation.
