Treasury Department announces Trump's signature will appear on US paper currency
The U.S. Treasury Department announced Thursday that President Trump's signature will appear on all new paper currency, marking the first time a sitting president's signature will be on US banknotes. The move breaks a 165-year tradition where only Treasury Secretary and Treasurer signatures appeared on currency. The Treasury said the decision honors America's 250th anniversary in 2026.
