H.R. 1761

In brief

This bill requires the Department of the Treasury to issue a new $250 paper currency note featuring a portrait of President Donald Trump. It creates a specific legal exception to the current federal law that prohibits living people from appearing on U.S. currency, allowing the inclusion of any current or former president on paper money. Introduced by Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC), the legislation is currently under consideration by the House Committee on Financial Services. If enacted, these provisions would apply to the production of all future $250 bills printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
