Trump to put his signature on US dollars, breaking a tradition since 1861

The Treasury Department announced plans to add US President Donald Trump’s signature to US currency, reportedly starting with the $100 bill in June. 

US President Donald Trump is set to become the first sitting president in history to have his signature put on US paper currency.

In an announcement on Thursday, the US Department of the Treasury said the move would mark the 250th anniversary of the US. It will put both Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s signatures on future US notes.
