Treasury mulls a $250 note with Trump's portrait if Congress changes currency rules

The Treasury Department says it is preparing for a possible $250 commemorative note featuring President Donald J. Trump if Congress amends the law to allow living portraits on U.S. currency; under current law only deceased individuals may appear and the note would also carry 'In God We Trust.' The idea stems from Rep. Joe Wilson’s 2025 bill, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing would move to produce such a note only after a law change, with currency designs typically finalized years before circulation as part of broader 250th-anniversary currency initiatives.
