The Treasury Department announced Thursday that U.S. paper currency will soon bear President Donald Trump’s signature, making him the first sitting president to appear on federal notes in that way.

The first $100 bills featuring Trump’s signature, alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s, are set to be printed in June, with additional denominations to follow in the coming months. Current production still includes notes signed by former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Treasurer Lynn Malerba.

The change also breaks with a 165-year precedent, as Malerba will be the last Treasurer of the United States to have her signature appear on U.S. currency, a practice dating back to 1861.

Treasury officials said the update is being made to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary. Bessent pointed to economic growth, financial stability, and continued dollar dominance as justification for marking the milestone with Trump’s name on the nation’s currency.

The broader design of U.S. bills will remain unchanged, as federal law requires key elements to stay intact and prohibits portraits of living individuals. The Treasury retains authority to modify currency features, particularly for anti-counterfeiting purposes.

The move is part of a wider effort by the administration and its allies to place Trump’s name on public symbols and institutions, including proposals for commemorative coins and other federal recognitions, though some efforts have faced legal limits.
