Treasury plans to put Trump’s signature on U.S. bills in first for sitting president, AP source says

WASHINGTON — The U.S Treasury Department is working on plans to put President Donald Trump’s signature on all new US paper currency, a Treasury official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it ahead of the announcement told the Associated Press on Thursday.

The move would be a first for a sitting president. The news was first reported by Vanity Fair.

Earlier this month, a federal arts commission approved the final design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin bearing Trump’s image to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday on July 4.

The plans come in tandem with an ongoing effort to get Trump’s face on a coin.
