Trump on $250 Bill? Treasury Exploring

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is proposing a bold move: putting President Trump on a new $250 bill to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2027 — but current law bars living people from U.S. currency. This isn’t the first time the idea’s surfaced — similar proposals date back to 2025, including a $1 coin design that even got a nod from the Commission of Fine Arts. While the last living president on currency was Calvin Coolidge on a half-dollar in 1926, the $250 bill itself has never been printed — the highest denomination today is $100. The Treasury is now exploring legal changes to make this historic moment possible. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
