President Donald Trump posted a new image 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 Department Announcement
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in March that the administration planned to feature Trump’s signature on the Benjamin in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States.
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.
US Treasurer Brandon Beach said in the March announcement, “The President’s mark on history as the architect of America’s Golden Age economic revival is undeniable. Printing his signature on the American currency is not only appropriate, but also well deserved.”
