President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0is adding his name to U.S. dollar bills, the first time a sitting president\u2019s signature will go on paper currency, the Treasury Department announced Thursday.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s signature will go on the bills in honor of the country\u2019s 250th anniversary, the Treasury said. Historically, paper currency carries the signatures of the treasury secretary and the treasurer.<\/p>\n \u201cThe President\u2019s mark on history as the architect of America\u2019s Golden Age economic revival is undeniable,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. “Printing his signature on the American currency is not only appropriate, but also well deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n U.S. paper currency has featured the treasurer\u2019s along with the treasury secretary\u2019s or the register of the treasurer\u2019s signatures since it was first printed in 1861.<\/p>\n Polls show\u00a0<\/a>voters are unhappy with the economy, citing rising inflation and high cost of living. Oil prices have\u00a0also risen<\/a>\u00a0since the start of the Iran war, causing\u00a0some voters to express dismay<\/a>.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s signature on the dollar bills is not the only representation of him that Americans can expect to see on U.S. currency this year.<\/p>\n
