$250 Bill with Trump’s Image Set for Circulation — U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach Unveils Plan

U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach announced on Wednesday that he is working to create a $250 bill featuring President Donald Trump.

As the head of the nation’s currency and coinage production with direct oversight of the U.S. Mint and Fort Knox, Beach served as a Republican member of the Georgia State Senate for more than a decade before being appointed by former President Trump to his current role in May.

“When Trump appointed me to the job, I told him I wanted to do a $250 bill with his picture on the 250th birthday celebration,” Beach stated. He noted that Congress must first pass legislation to amend the law requiring a president to be deceased before appearing on paper currency.

Beach confirmed that if such legislation is signed into law, he would immediately begin production of the $250 bill, which would become one of the highest-denomination bills in circulation.

Additionally, designs for a $1 coin featuring Trump’s image are underway.

Congress has already passed the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act to honor the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration, authorizing the Department of the Treasury to mint special $1 coins commemorating the semiquincentennial on July 4.

Beach emphasized that the $1 coin would be legal tender. “This is not a commemorative coin. You can go in and buy something with this $1 coin with Trump’s picture on it,” he said.

The administration is also developing other coins for the 250th anniversary celebration, including currency designs for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, during which most games will be played in major American cities.
