The Bottom Line

Treasury Department plans to put Trump's signature on newly issued U.S. dollar bills, a first for a sitting president.

AI Summary

The U.S. Treasury Department is planning to print President Trump's signature on newly issued dollar bills, marking the first time a sitting president's signature will appear on circulating currency. Treasury secretaries and Federal Reserve chairs have traditionally been the officials whose signatures appear on bills, a practice dating back to the 19th century. The move would represent a significant departure from more than a century of precedent regarding whose name appears on U.S. currency. It remains unclear when the new bills would enter circulation or how the logistics of the change would be implemented.
