The Treasury Department announced that President Trump’s signature will appear on newly printed dollar bills — a first in American history — ahead of the country’s 250th anniversary.
“There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.
Treasurer Brandon Beach, whose name will be omitted to make way for Trump’s own, added: “Printing his signature on the American currency is not only appropriate, but also well deserved.”
The Treasury Department issued its press release about an hour after Vanity Fair reported Trump’s signature would appear on “all denominations of US dollar bills.”
Reuters reported that $100 bills with Trump’s signature will be printed in June — in time for the July 4 anniversary of the Declaration of Independence — with other bills coming in subsequent months.
The federal government began issuing paper currency in 1861.
The surprise announcement comes after the US Commission of Fine Arts last week approved Trump’s image to appear on a commemorative gold coin of an unspecified denomination — with reports suggesting it may land on a coin larger than an ounce, which is used for the Golden Eagle.

TDS sufferers will be burning their cash in short order. It’ll make the Third Reich’s book-burning rallies look like girl scout campouts making s’mores by comparison.
I care more about the perpetual devaluation of that dollar than whose signature or likeness may be on it.
I was about to say libs will refuse this. Will insist on nickels, dimes and quarters
No shortage of ego here.
And he will say that it was someone else’s idea.
And there are a lot of fools who will “collect” them, like State Quarters or $2 bills in 1976.
“TDS sufferers will be burning their cash in short order. It’ll make the Third Reich’s book-burning rallies look like girl scout campouts making s’mores by comparison.”
As I understand it, they are think more like a campaign where they use a Sharpie to blot out the signature
And there are a lot of fools who will “collect” them, like State Quarters or $2 bills in 1976.
there’s nothing wrong with collecting these types of things if you enjoy doing so.
Just as long as you don’t expect them to rise in value
Money will soon be outdated. In the meantime all currency should have his pretty face on it. Other nations have their kings on theirs.
Want to have fun? Go to your local Starbucks and only tip with these, and circle the name with a sharpie first.
“I have no idea who keeps doing this to them, but do you want your tip or not?”
Defacing US currency?
Paging US AG Pam Bondi to the DO YOUR DAMN JOB PHONE (again)
I agree.
I was thinking about when I had to clean out the apartments/homes of my elderly relatives. They ALL had those 1976 $2 bills. I remember people grabbing them and thinking they were all going to be worth hundreds of dollars some day. All billion of them. Ha Ha.
No there is nothing wrong with collecting stuff. My 1970’s stamp collection is a good example. I still like looking at them…but they would be used as postage if I tried to sell them to a dealer.
“ Want to have fun? Go to your local Starbucks and only tip with these, and circle the name with a sharpie first.”
During his first term, I remember someone on this board saying they were writing “Trump lives here” and drawing an arrow to the picture of the Whitehouse on bills to tweak the servers.
I would suggest checking out the sale of individual valuable stamps on Ebay. There are people who collect all kinds of stuff and will pay real money for it.
“I care more about the perpetual devaluation of that dollar...” - Amen, Amen,AMEN!!!
Must point out, DOGE, independent journalists, Rand Paul, etc show proof of fraud and sick waste and what does Trump & Co. do but demand more $.
Talk about “meet the same boss, same as the old boss” shite.
“No shortage of ego here.
And he will say that it was someone else’s idea.
And there are a lot of fools who will “collect” them, like State Quarters or $2 bills in 1976.”
It’s looking like you were one of “those” lieutenants” - the ones even slick sleeves laughed at and disdained.
Master trolling.
More like, will we have more house capitulation and TACO after the senate passed its silly bill last night regarding TSA? Let’s solve real problems instead of EGO naming rts.
And it looks like you would be one of those guys to put on a purple track suit, Nikes and drink kool aid if the master told you to.
See how opinions work? They are ALL stupid.
“Want to have fun? Go to your local Starbucks...”
LOL. I do believe that is going to catch on.
