US President Donald Trump’s signature on
dollar bills approved for the first time
¨
The inclusion of US
President Donald Trump’s signature on US dollar bills has been approved for the
first time in history.
¨
The decision has been
taken by the US Treasury as part of the 250th anniversary celebrations of American
independence.
¨
The signature will appear
alongside that of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on US paper currency.
¨
This move marks the first
instance since 1861 that a sitting president's signature will feature on dollar
bills.
¨
The announcement has been
confirmed by US Treasurer Brandon Beach through a social media statement.
¨
The development reflects
a symbolic step linked to the historic milestone of American independence
celebrations.
¨ Earlier, a federal arts commission approved a commemorative 24-karat gold coin featuring Donald Trump’s image.
¨ The commemorative coin is also intended to mark the 250th anniversary celebrations.
