Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed new U.S. dollar bills that will feature President Donald Trump’s signature for the first time in history. The upcoming series, including $100 bills, will display both the President’s signature and Bessent’s signature to mark America’s 250th anniversary of independence.
In footage from Jesse Watters Primetime on Fox News, Bessent shows the design from the Treasury vault. The signatures fit in a special box on the notes. This change is part of the regular currency production cycle and adds no cost to taxpayers, as Scott Bessent explicitly stated. Printing happens in Washington, D.C. and Dallas, with distribution by the Federal Reserve starting this fall.
Separately, Bessent announced on social media that the U.S. Mint will strike a new $1 gold coin featuring President Trump. The coin honors 250 years of independence as a symbol of liberty, patriotism, and freedom.
These Treasury initiatives under Secretary Bessent link regular currency updates with a commemorative gold coin for the semiquincentennial. The video provides an inside look at the bill production and storage areas. Both the signed bills and the gold coin offer ways to recognize this historic national milestone through American money and coinage. Observers note that such updates reflect how the nation uses its currency and coins to commemorate foundational events.
Together, the new $100 bills and commemorative $1 gold coin celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, continuing the long tradition of honoring historic national milestones through U.S. currency and commemorative coins.
