Trump on $250 Bill? Treasury Secretary Weighs In
Description
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is pushing to honor President Trump with commemorative currency ahead of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, citing historical precedent like Calvin Coolidge’s coin and noting that while federal law restricts currency portraits to deceased figures, he has discretion over design as long as “In God We Trust” is included. A proposed House bill to feature Trump on a new $250 bill remains stalled, but Bessent argues the sitting president deserves recognition during this major national milestone, sparking debate over how we commemorate history and who belongs on our money.
