U.S. President Donald Trump’s signature is set to feature on U.S. paper currency soon, a first for a sitting President since the introduction of dollar bills in 1861.
The decision, taken by the U.S. Treasury, coincides with the 250th anniversary celebrations of American Independence this year.
"In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, President Donald J Trump’s signature alongside (Treasury) Secretary Scott Bessent's will soon appear on U.S. currency, marking a first in history, and symbolises @POTUS' leadership and dedication to our great nation will carry a lasting impact,” U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach said in a post on X.
Earlier this month, a federal arts commission approved the final design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin bearing Mr. Trump’s image to help celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence.
The 24-karat gold coin, portraying Mr. Trump leaning on the Resolute desk with clenched fists, will be only the second time a living president has featured on a coin.
