The U.S. Treasury has designed a $250 bill featuring President Trump\u2019s image, but the plan can\u2019t move forward unless Congress authorizes it, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Under federal law, the Treasury cannot produce currency featuring a living person.<\/p>\n

Mr. Bessent said there is legislation introduced in Congress that would allow a living person to grace U.S. currency, but if likely will not garner the Democratic votes needed to clear the Senate.<\/p>\n

Treasury created the bill because \u201cwe have to be prepared,\u201d he said at the White House press briefing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all up on Capitol Hill,\u201d he said. \u201cAt Treasury, we prepare things in advance, so we have prepared in advance that if the legislation is passed, but we will stick to the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president doesn\u2019t do it; the House and the Senate have to do it,\u201d Mr. Bessent said.<\/p>\n

The Treasury Secretary was referring to legislation introduced by Rep. Joe Wilson, South Carolina Republican, that would authorize the Treasury Department\u2019s Bureau of Engraving and Printing to put Mr. Trump\u2019s face on the bill to mark the 250th anniversary of the nation\u2019s founding.<\/p>\n

Federal law stipulates that \u201conly the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities.\u201d Mr. Wilson\u2019s bill would amend that law by requiring the Treasury to print $250 bills that \u201cfeature a portrait of Donald J. Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act was introduced in Congress in February 2025. It was referred to the House Committee on Financial Services the same day, but has since stalled out with no action taken.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump has long sought to have his name or image on U.S. currency. In March, the Treasury announced that future currency would bear Mr. Trump\u2019s signature, and in October, it said it was working on a $1 coin featuring the president\u2019s image to celebrate the nation\u2019s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n

A press release on Mr. Wilson\u2019s website shows an AI design mock-up of the bill that features a color portrait of Mr. Trump on the left-hand side of the $250 bill.<\/p>\n

New currency designs can take years to develop and are only released to the public six to eight months before the currency takes effect to prevent counterfeiting, according to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.<\/p>\n
