Trump Unveils New $100 Bill With His Signature for US 250th Anniversary

Summary
Trump posted an image of a new $100 bill bearing his signature, previewing a Treasury-backed redesign tied to the nation’s 250th birthday.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in March that, for the first time, a sitting president’s signature would appear on US paper currency, calling the change a tribute to Trump’s economic record.
The image shows Trump’s signature above Bessent’s, replacing the long-standing practice under which $100 bills carried only the Treasury secretary’s and US treasurer’s signatures.
US Treasurer Brandon Beach said the notes should enter circulation soon, extending an administration push that has already placed Trump’s name or image on passports, park passes and other federal items.
Some allies want to go further with a $250 anniversary bill carrying Trump’s portrait, but that faces a legal barrier because US currency generally may show only deceased individuals.
