Republicans are trying to print a $250 bill with Trump's face on it - LGBTQ Nation

Rightwing media is reporting that the Trump administration is considering printing a $250 bill with Donald Trump's face on it. This is the second plan from the White House to put Trump on currency, even though only dead people are traditionally memorialized on money in the U.S. Trump is still alive. U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach told the rightwing Daily Caller that he wants Trump on a $250 bill because the U.S.'s 250th anniversary is this year.

Trump wants his face on a US dollar coin. History, not law, stands in the way - Poynter

President Donald Trump appears poised to put his image on both sides of a commemorative $1 coin issued by the United States Mint. On Oct. 3, the White House reshared an X post from U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach confirming reports that the Trump administration was seeking to put the president's image on the front and back of a dollar coin commemorating the nation's 250th anniversary. U.S. currency typically does not feature living people - or sitting presidents - but it's not unprecedented. "There have been times in the past where commemorative coins have been printed with the faces of living people," White House National Economic Council chair Kevin Hassett said on CNN's " State of the Union " Oct. 5. He's right: Several living people have been featured on U.S. coins in both the recent and distant past, including one sitting president.
