Treasury Department prepares $250 bill with Trump's face on it - NPR

The Treasury Department has prepared artwork for a proposed $250 bill featuring President Trump as part of 250th‑anniversary activities, though Congress would need to pass legislation before any notes could be printed. The move fits with a broader set of anniversary initiatives — including plans to place the president’s signature on new paper currency, a commemorative gold coin, and limited‑release passports bearing the president’s image — and follows reports that administration appointees pushed for a portrait note and reassigned a BEP director who resisted. The proposal has prompted legal and political questions about placing a living president’s likeness on government‑issued monetary items.
