President Donald Trump’s signature will appear on paper currency, the Treasury Department announced in a Thursday press release.
Paper money typically has the signatures of the Treasurer of the United State and the Secretary of Treasury.
It will be the first time a sitting president has had his signature on U.S. currency, according to the release and other media reports.
Thursday’s press release says Trump’s signature will be used “In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.”
It was reported last week that Trump is also expected to appear on a commemorative coin for America’s 250th.
A draft of a $1 coin with Trump’s face was also reported last year, which has raised legal questions as the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 says: “No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President.”
US Treasurer Brandon Beach wrote in an Oct. 3, 2025, social media post that images of Trump on a $1 coin were also expected to be launched for the 250th anniversary.
