Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act

Key Points

• This bill would create a brand new $250 bill for Americans to use. It would be the first time the United States has ever issued a bill in this specific amount. The bill would feature a portrait of Donald J. Trump on the front.
• The goal of the new money is to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States in 2026. The bill's sponsors want to use the $250 amount to match the 250-year milestone the country is reaching.
• Right now, federal law says that no living person can have their face on U.S. currency. This policy would change that rule specifically for anyone who is or has been the President, making it legal for Donald J. Trump to be on the bill while he is alive.
• If Congress passes this and it becomes law, the Treasury Department would be required to start printing these new bills within one year. These would be official Federal Reserve notes, meaning they would be real money that you could spend at stores or deposit at a bank.
