President Donald Trump<\/a> is adding his name to U.S. dollar bills, the first time a sitting president\u2019s signature will go on paper currency, the Treasury Department announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s signature will go on the bills in honor of the country\u2019s 250th anniversary, the Treasury said. Historically, paper currency carries the signatures of the treasury secretary and the treasurer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President\u2019s mark on history as the architect of America\u2019s Golden Age economic revival is undeniable,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. “Printing his signature on the American currency is not only appropriate, but also well deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. paper currency has featured the treasurer along with the treasury secretary\u2019s or the register of the treasurer\u2019s signatures since it was first printed in 1861.<\/p>\n

Polls show <\/a>voters are unhappy with the economy, citing rising inflation and high cost of living. Oil prices have also risen<\/a> since the start of the Iran war, causing some voters to express dismay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s signature on the dollar bills is not the only representation of him that Americans can expect to see on U.S. currency this year.<\/p>\n

A federal commission of Trump-appointed members recently approved a design that would include Trump’s image on 24-karat commemorative gold coins<\/a>, also in honor of the country\u2019s 250th anniversary. That coin’s design still requires official approval from the Treasury.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Trump stamped his name onto Covid stimulus checks<\/a>, which gave direct cash payments to Americans during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Adding his name to U.S. currency is Trump\u2019s latest effort to leave his mark on the federal government in ways other presidents haven’t.<\/p>\n

Trump’s name is now affixed to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts<\/a> and the U.S. Institute of Peace<\/a> in Washington. It’s also attached to discount drug programs<\/a>, savings accounts<\/a> and proposed warships<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump is adding his name to U.S. dollar bills, the first time a sitting president\u2019s signature…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":547351,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-547350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=547350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/547351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=547350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=547350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=547350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
