‘First for a sitting U.S. president’: Donald Trump couldn’t build a wall or end wars, but now he’s breaking a 165-year old tradition

President Donald Trump‘s signature is set to appear on U.S. banknotes. The Treasury Department announced that his signature will appear alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent‘s. The first $100 bills with the new signatures are expected to be printed in June, with other denominations to follow.

According to The New York Times, it’s going to be a “first for a sitting U.S. president”. Secretary Bessent stated there isn’t a more impactful way to acknowledge the “historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J Trump” than by putting his name on US dollar bills. U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach also said the country’s currency will “continue to stand as a symbol of prosperity, strength, and the unshakable spirit of the American people.”
