Treasury Department to Add President Trump's Signature to U.S. Paper Currency

The U.S. Treasury Department announced that President Trump's signature will appear on all new paper currency. This move ends a 165-year tradition where only the signatures of Treasury officials were used. Starting in June, the President's signature will first appear on the $100 bill alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. This is the first time a sitting president's signature will be printed on U.S. bills. The Treasury plans to include the signature on all new paper currency to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. While some officials see this as a way to commemorate the anniversary, critics have expressed dismay and derision over the change. Social media users have also raised concerns about the political implications of the move during a time of rising costs.
