Trumps Portrait on New $250 Banknote Sparks Controversy
May 28, 2026 • Google News World
The US Treasury Department is considering a new $250 banknote featuring the image of former President Donald Trump. According to reports, the design has been finalized and is currently being reviewed by officials.
The new note would feature Trump’s portrait on the obverse side, while the reverse side would depict an image of the White House. The design was reportedly chosen from among several submissions made by private companies.
The Treasury Department has not yet announced a decision on whether to proceed with the production of the new banknote. However, officials have confirmed that the design is being reviewed and that no final decision has been made.
It’s worth noting that the US government typically reviews and updates its currency designs every 10-15 years. The last major redesign of US currency occurred in 2013, when the Federal Reserve introduced new $100 bills featuring advanced security features.
The proposed $250 banknote would be a significant addition to the existing US currency system, which currently includes denominations ranging from $1 to $100.
