President Donald Trump’s signature will soon be featured on all new US paper currency, the Treasury Department announced Thursday. This marks the first time a sitting president’s name will appear on American money.
The decision comes as the latest instance of Trump placing his name and likeness on US institutions and government projects.
The signature will be added to all denominations of dollar bills and is expected to appear on paper money this summer. This is a departure from historical practice, as US currency has not previously featured a president’s signature.
