HR 1761 would create a new $250 denomination featuring a portrait of former President Donald Trump. The Treasury Department would be required to produce these bills within one year of enactment. The bill ties the new denomination to the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.
The bill affects every American who uses cash, as well as the Treasury Department, businesses, and banks that would need to update equipment such as cash registers and ATMs to handle the new denomination.
Current law prohibits placing the portrait of any living person on U.S. currency or government securities. This bill would create an exception for current or former presidents, which would allow a living person to appear on U.S. money for the first time in American history.
