Trump posts new image of US$100 bill with his signature

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the signature bills will mark the nation’s 250th anniversary, a first for a sitting president on U.S. currency.

  • President Donald Trump posted an image Friday of a $100 bill bearing his signature, marking the first time a sitting President's signature has appeared on United States paper currency.
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced in March that the administration planned to feature the President's signature on currency to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States.
  • The image shows the President's signature positioned above Bessent's, departing from previous practice where the $100 bill featured signatures of the Treasury Secretary and Treasurer Brandon Beach only.
  • Some in Congress introduced a bill to feature the President's portrait on a $250 anniversary bill, though United States law states that "Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities."
  • Trump has placed his name or image on commemorative passports, national parks passes, and Palm Beach International Airport. Bessent told CNN's Kaitlan Collins he didn't think there was "anything untoward" about putting the President's portrait on currency.
