Trump signature to appear on US bills in first for sitting president

The Trump administration announced Thursday that President Trump's signature will appear on U.S. paper currency, marking the first time a sitting president has been featured on legal tender. To make room for Trump's signature, the Treasury Department will remove the treasurer's signature from bills for the first time since 1861, a practice that has remained standard for over 160 years. The change is being made to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary. By law, bills have long carried both the Treasury Secretary's and Treasurer's signatures as dual authorization. This departure from 165 years of tradition represents a significant symbolic shift in how the U.S. marks its currency.
