IMAGE OF $100 BILL WITH TRUMP SIGNATURE

 

President Donald Trump posted a new image Friday of a $100 bill bearing his signature, months after the Treasury Department announced that, for the first time, a sitting president's signature would be featured on US paper currency.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in March that the administration planned to feature Trump's signature on US currency in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States. CNN has reached out to Treasury inquiring whether the $100 bills with Trump's signature are currently being printed.

The image shows the president's signature above Bessent's. Previously, the $100 bill featured the signatures of the Treasury secretary and the treasurer of the United States, but not the sitting president.

Some in Congress have wanted to go a step further and put Trump's likeness on currency, introducing a bill to get his portrait on a $250 anniversary bill. That outcome is far less likely, given it would need the support of Democratic senators in Congress. US code states that "Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities," but the House bill seeks to "create an exception for individuals who are or were President of the United States."
