US President Donald Trump is reportedly advocating for his portrait to be featured on a new $250 banknote, intended to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States. This initiative is being spearheaded by Treasury officials Brandon Beach and Mike Brown, both appointed by Trump, who have requested mock-ups from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Currently, US law prohibits living individuals from appearing on currency, a rule established after a mid-level treasury official's portrait was featured on a 5¢ note in 1886. However, there is proposed legislation in Congress that aims to change this restriction, allowing Trump to be featured on the bill. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted that preparations for the design have been made in anticipation of the legislation's potential passage. The mock-ups reportedly include Trump's mugshot from his August 2023 arrest and designs that incorporate the colors of the US flag. The proposal has raised concerns among Treasury employees due to the legal implications of featuring a living person on currency.
