Trump's name is headed to dollar bills as cash use continues to decline

President Trump's signature will appear on U.S. currency for the first time in a sitting president, with the Treasury Department planning to print bills tied to the nation's 250th anniversary in 2026. The first $100 bills bearing Trump's signature are expected to be printed in June, followed by other denominations in subsequent months. The move breaks with tradition, as U.S. bills have historically carried only the signatures of the Treasury secretary and treasurer, not the president. Cash now accounts for just 14% of U.S. payments according to Federal Reserve data, and Americans make roughly seven cash payments per month out of about 48 total transactions.
