Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act
3/21/2025, 4:36 PM
Summary of Bill HR 1761
Bill 119 hr 1761, also known as the "Donald J. Trump $250 Federal Reserve Note Act," proposes to amend the Federal Reserve Act to require the Secretary of the Treasury to print $250 Federal reserve notes featuring a portrait of former President Donald J. Trump. The bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although specific details on these purposes are not provided in the bill text.
If passed, this legislation would result in the creation of a new denomination of currency in the form of $250 bills, with the likeness of Donald J. Trump prominently displayed on the front. This move would mark a departure from the current practice of featuring past presidents and other historical figures on US currency.
Supporters of the bill argue that honoring Donald J. Trump in this way would be a fitting tribute to his presidency and his contributions to the country. However, critics have raised concerns about the potential politicization of US currency and the precedent it could set for future administrations to similarly seek to have their likeness featured on currency. As of now, the bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process and it remains to be seen whether it will garner enough support to pass both chambers of Congress and be signed into law by the President.
