President Donald Trump could appear on a proposed new U.S. $250 bill as part of preparations for the country’s 250th anniversary, according to multiple reports. The proposal, reported first by The Washington Post, includes a design mock-up that would show Trump’s portrait and the wording “America 250 anniversary,” referencing Independence Day celebrations on July 4, 1776. Several outlets say the plan would require congressional action because a federal law currently bars the depiction of living people—specifically living presidents—on U.S. currency. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has defended the idea publicly, saying Treasury is preparing in advance while indicating it will follow the law if legislation is not enacted. Some reporting also cites internal concerns at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing about potential legal and procedural obstacles, including that the proposal could violate the existing prohibition. One report notes that legislation to enable a living person’s image on the bill has been introduced but has stalled. Democrats and at least one senator criticize the move as unprecedented. A Treasury spokesperson told The Washington Post that the printing office is conducting “appropriate planning and due diligence” related to the proposal.
