Let's hope this doesn't give Tinubu ideas!

US President Donald Trump's administration is preparing to print a new $250 bill that would feature a portrait of him, if lawmakers allow the move.

Federal law bars printing US money with the image of a living person, but Trump allies in Congress have introduced legislation that would make an exception.

A Treasury Department spokesperson told the BBC the agency "is conducting appropriate planning and due diligence" in response to the legislation.

The lawmakers behind it said the bill amount would symbolise the country's 250th anniversary this year. If approved, it will be the latest example by Trump and his allies to put his face, name, and likeness on national institutions and symbols.

Artistic concepts of the $250 bill have not been publicly released but designs have been requested by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), a sub-agency of the Treasury that develops and produces US currency. The Washington Post first reported the Treasury Department's plans.

"Should this legislative mandate be signed into law, the BEP is moving proactively to produce a $250 commemorative note which will appropriately recognize the 250th Anniversary of our great nation," the Treasury spokesperson said in a statement.

Trump's signature is already set to appear on US paper notes as part of the nation's semiquincentennial celebrations.

The new legislation was introduced last year by US House Representative Joe Wilson, a Republican from South Carolina. It would need approval from both the US House and Senate.

When asked about a possible new bill during a White House briefing on Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said "it's all in the hands" of Congress and that, while his department was preparing in case the legislation passes, the Treasury would follow the law.

He also said he did not "think there's anything untoward" about having an image of the person in office during the country's 250th anniversary on a bill marking the anniversary.

The move to create the $250 note could also break with a different federal law that specifies the denominations that can be produced. That law doesn't include $250.

The $100 bill, featuring Benjamin Franklin, one of the US founding fathers, is the largest bill printed today. The US has previously issued larger notes including $500, $1000 and $10,000 notes but these were discontinued in 1969. They remain legal tender but not in circulation, as they are largely kept by private currency collectors.

Since taking office last year, Trump and his allies have worked to put his face, name, and likeness on public buildings and US symbols.

The Kennedy Center was renamed to include Trump's name, and his portrait will feature on US passports. The presidential jet Air Force One is also being repainted in Trump's preferred colours.

SICKENING AND PATHETIC.

America is now officially the world's biggest BANANA REPUBLIC.

Why Americans are allowing this smelly, fat pig to drag their nation's name through the mud, only heaven knows.

Now, while I don't agree with his penchant for wanting to slap his name on everything, I do think he's about the greatest president US has ever had

I think it is a limited edition kind of deal - to commemorate 250 years of American independence (July 4, 1776 to 2026), also called semiquincentennial.
Trump happens to be president at this time - who else would you consider if not the president?

Greatest because he has been able to sink their economy.

Politically, trump behaves like Nigerian politicians. He doesn't care about public opinion. No sitting president of America has ever had his picture on the dollar note

I know the next American president will undue most of the the things he has done. Watch out.

How about actual heroes,no
Nobody will even accept the money as legal tender. Trumps approval rating is at an all time low

Trump face will do better on $250 bill, but my neighbour face on naira note will be our greatest disaster!

All hail Julius Caesar incarnate

Comical.

I dont even have to start listing the greats.

How dare you compare this criminal, perverted and racist buffoon to characters like George Washington, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, to mention a few?

Honestly, Trumpists are the only ones more clownish than Trump.

I couldn't agree more. This pathetic PDF criminal has reduced the US to the laughing stick of other dictators.
As an American, I'm ashamed of what this convicted felon has reduced the POTUS to.
