US Treasury Begins Printing New $100 Bills Featuring Trump’s Signature for Independence Day
The US Treasury Department has provided a rare behind-the-scenes look at the printing of new $100 bills bearing President Donald Trump’s signature, marking a historic first for a sitting president. The exclusive tour, led by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, revealed the freshly designed notes commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence. These bills will enter circulation starting in June.
This printing initiative ends a 165-year tradition by removing the signature of the US Treasurer from the currency. The last treasurer to appear on bills was Lynn Malerba, whose signature currently appears alongside Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s. The new notes will instead feature signatures from President Trump and Secretary Mnuchin.
The move is part of a broader Trump administration effort to imprint the president’s name on federal assets, including buildings, government programs, warships, and coins. Following the release of the new $100 bills, additional denominations with the updated signatures are expected to be printed in the coming months and distributed to banks nationwide.
