"The Treasury Department plans to put Trump's signature on all new U.S. paper currency, tied to the nation's 250th anniversary in 2026. Traditionally, U.S. bills carry the signatures of the Treasury secretary and treasurer - not the president."
"Cash accounts for just 14% of U.S. payments, with Americans making about seven cash payments a month out of roughly 48 total. Even when it's used, cash is often a fallback - two-thirds of cash payments come from people who prefer cards."
"The Trump signature plan is part of a broader push to reshape how Americans think about money - even as physical money itself is changing. A federal panel recently approved a 24-karat gold commemorative coin featuring Trump's image."
The Treasury Department plans to feature Trump's signature on all new U.S. paper currency as part of the 250th anniversary celebrations in 2026. Traditionally, U.S. bills carry the signatures of the Treasury secretary and treasurer. Cash transactions account for only 14% of U.S. payments, with many Americans preferring card payments. Despite a decline in cash use, over 80% of Americans still use cash occasionally. The first $100 bills with Trump's signature are expected to be printed in June, followed by other denominations.
