West Columbia, SC 02/27/2025 - Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC) today introduced the “Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act.” This legislation directs the Bureau of Printing and Engraving to design and print a $250 dollar bill of legal U.S. tender that bears the image of President Donald J. Trump. This legislation will also create an exemption to previous 19th century legislation banning living figures on currency to allow individuals who have served as President to appear on currency.
Next year is the 250th Anniversary of the United States and allows this currency not only to be in a larger denomination to help families carry less cash, but also symbolically recognize the President of the United States during the Semiquincentennial anniversary.
“Bidenflation has destroyed the economy forcing American families to carry more cash. President Trump is working tirelessly to fight inflation and help American families. This achievement is deserving of currency recognition, which is why I am grateful to introduce this legislation. The most valuable bill for the most valuable President!” said Congressman Wilson.
Original Cosponsors include Representatives Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), Ralph Norman (R-SC), and Darrell Issa (R-CA).
A copy of the legislation is available here.
