According to a new report by the Washington Post, Donald Trump's team is pushing for his face to appear on a new $250 bill to mark the USA's 250th anniversary. That would make him the first living person to appear on US currency in more than 150 years. Trump allies allegedly pressured staff at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and "abruptly reassigned" the director when she expressed concerns about federal law, which states that only the deceased can appear on US banknotes.
Though federal law barred the printing of money featuring a living person in 1866, the Trump administration last year drafted legislation that would allow Trump to appear on a $250 bill in time for the nation’s 250th birthday – even though the legislation has not been taken up yet.
