US plans new $250 bill with Trump’s face on it

The News Whirl

The Trump administration is preparing plans for a possible new $250 bill that could feature President Donald Trump’s portrait if Congress approves a proposed law change. Current US law does not allow living people to appear on American currency, but Republican lawmakers say the note would honor the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations. The Treasury Department confirmed it is reviewing the proposal and preparing possible designs. Critics argue the move focuses more on politics and personal branding than economic concerns facing Americans. If approved, the $250 bill would become one of the highest-value notes ever produced in modern US currency history.
