Treasury Department to add Trump’s signature to US currency

The Treasury Department announced it will add President Trump's signature to U.S. paper currency, marking the first time a sitting president's name has appeared on circulating bills. The move commemorates the nation's 250th anniversary and represents a historic break from longstanding protocol that has kept sitting presidents off currency during their terms in office. Treasury officials framed the decision as recognition of Trump's achievements, though the announcement has immediate political implications given Trump's current presidency. Currency signatures typically honor secretaries of the Treasury and Federal Reserve chairs, making this a significant departure from standard practice. The new bills will enter circulation during Trump's second term.
