What change is being introduced to U.S. banknotes?
Starting in June 2026, U.S. paper currency will include the signature of President 100. This will be the first instance in U.S. history where a sitting president’s signature appears on national currency.
How will the signatures be displayed?
Trump’s signature will appear alongside that of U.S. Treasury Secretary .
According to the Treasury Department, this move is part of commemorations marking the 250th anniversary of the United States.
When will the new banknotes enter circulation?
The first $100 bills featuring both signatures are expected to be printed in June, with other denominations rolling out in the following months.
It may take several weeks for the new banknotes to become widely available through banks.
Will the design of the currency change?
Officials stated that the overall design of U.S. banknotes will remain unchanged. The only modification will be replacing the treasurer’s signature with Trump’s signature.
As part of the anniversary updates, the treasurer’s signature will be removed for the first time in 165 years.
How has the decision been received?
Currently, banknotes issued during the administration of former president 2 remain in circulation, bearing the signatures of Janet Yellen and Lyn Malerba.
According to Reuters, this move is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to place the president’s name on various public assets and initiatives.
California Governor criticized the decision, linking it to ongoing economic concerns faced by Americans.
