Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says preparations are underway.
Preparations Underway
Please note US Treasury secretary confirms plans for $250 bill featuring Trump’s face
US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent says preparations are under way to print a new $250 banknote featuring President Donald Trump’s face, with lawmakers to decide whether the bills will be put into circulation.
US law bars any living person from appearing on US currency, but legislation was introduced last year to create an exception to allow current and former presidents to be featured.
“I don’t think that there’s anything untoward about having the president of the United States, the person who’s president of the United States, on the 250th anniversary bill,” Bessent told reporters.
A design mock-up obtained by The Washington Post showed the words “America 250 anniversary”, a nod to the US declaring its independence on July 4, 1776.
Behaviour of dictators, monarchs
A banknote featuring Trump’s face would be the latest example of the US president expanding his personal brand in his official capacity since returning to the White House in 2025.
In March, the US Commission of Fine Arts, led by Trump appointee Rodney Mims Cook Jr, approved the minting of a commemorative gold coin bearing the Republican president’s image.
The announcement, which relied on a legal loophole for commemorative coins, prompted a backlash from critics, who likened the move to the behaviour of dictators and monarchs.
Scott Bessent on Trump’s Face
Polymarket Odds
I rate the odds at substantially under one percent.
The problem is existing legislation does not allow a living person to be on currency.
There is a bill pending in the House to address that requirement. But I doubt it passes.
Even if passes the House, so can the bill get 50 votes in the Senate? My answer to that question is no, but the question itself is moot.
Since this is a non-budget item, it won’t make it past Senate budget reconciliation rules. That means it would be subject to filibuster needing 60 Senate votes.
This ridiculous measure is headed to the ash heap of history where it belongs. There is much less than a 1 percent chance we ever see Trump’s face on a $250 bill.
Meanwhile please note Judge Pauses Trump’s Illegal 1.8 Billion Anti-Weaponization Slush Fund
Here’s another Trump court loss. Big ones coming up.
I might use that bill after number 2 with gusto!
Its a basically a commemorative collector’s item, which means almost none would see circulation, as the MAGA folk scoop them up thinking they’ll be worth a million in the future. This is much like quarters during the past 15 years: the treasury dept. seeks to make a profit on legal tender money NOT seeing circulation. Such money would not be worn out and returned to treasury for meltdown or destruction.
Consider the additional taxpayer expenses to have these bills removed from circulation! How about a coin celebrating the 2027-2028 Trump global famine?
As a poker player sometimes carrying large amounts of cash I’d like to see $250 or even $500 bills but with the orange man on there I’ll skip and deal with lots of $100s.
Bessent looks like a used car salesman in the photo. He knows that it is wrong and is forcing himself to smile. I guess that some people will do anything.
That’s the face of sycophant who ate shit out of his boss’ diaper and was forced to laud its big beautiful savor.
More players trump distracts from.
I should have added the Kenyans denying an Ebola quarantine area but the Sahel, with Kenya as a counterpoint, seems to become a major focus in future economic power plays.
Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso are run by sovereigntist juntas that came to power through coups between 2020 and 2023. They have joined forces as the Alliance of Sahel States (AoSS) and forced France to withdraw troops deployed in the fight against jihadist groups.
In Nairobi, on the first day of the Africa Forward summit, 11 May, French President Emmanuel Macron said that Europeans were “not the predators” of the 21st century in Africa.
Below I listed some HYPERINFLATION precedent bills.
I will repeat most of what is happening is in the background and planned to eat the genpop alive.
All laws can and will be used against anyone declared an enemy or insurgent or black money NGO paid protestor.
Bessant just bragged about stealing Iranian BTC wallets.
But weren’t those supposed to be a safe way around banking and bigov.
The question you should be asking yourself is how many of your neighbors will go STASI informant on you?
And isn’t funny that GITMO boundaries just had a meeting between the US and Cuba but the strange part is other than the original occupants others have been added during the Trump deportations.
Watch the small stuff, you can easily hide a murder, or attempted political assassination lie Vegas was, in a larger mass killing.
We may have a lot of fun carrying on about this, but you are right: it could get very nasty.
The Mises Institute has I think suggested that the least dishonest way out would be for the government to default: to repudiate its bonds and notes. They point out that the bondholders are not innocent: they knew that they could only be paid back with stolen money.
In any bankruptcy, the creditors suffer along with the debtors, but again, the creditors are not altogether innocent. At best, they have been careless.
I’m going to get little ink stamp kits made that just say “PEDOPHILE” and sell them on my website… I’ll make a killing!
Mish this is a distraction. Focus.
It is nice to see someone else understands the mechanics of an illusion.
Another tiny piece of the huge puzzle is Peter Thiel moving to Argentina as a Plan b.
I wouldn’t want my face on a note, because that is dishonest currency, but if they would like to put my face on a silver dollar, they would be welcome.
Just pull and Emperor Norton then you can print your own currency plus gain world wide respect.
It was a twenty year run as Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Norton
By 1859, Norton had become completely discontented with what he considered the inadequacies of the legal and political structures of the United States. In July 1859, he issued a brief manifesto addressed to the “Citizens of the Union”. It outlined in the broadest terms the national crisis as Norton saw it and suggested the imperative for action to address this crisis at the most basic level.”
“
I can’t wait. To wipe my ass with his face. Then I can turn it in at a Chase Bank for a replacement, and then Bank of America, etc. Any bank that supported him.
I think that may considered as a Biological attack if the test the bill and find your dna in the feces.
Might should use Ben’s face, he seems to be calling the shots.
The man formerly known as UNCLE BEN!
Future toilet paper
Hyperinflation bill like the Zimbabwe100 trillion dollar bill or the Venezuelan Million dollar bill.
Best of all; Hungary (Historical): In 1946, post-WWII Hungary experienced the most severe hyperinflation in world history. The government printed the highest-value banknote ever recorded: a 100 quintillion pengő note (100,000,000,000,000,000,000), which was valued at only about 20 U.S. cents at the time
What did they do to recalibrate the currency? Did they simply create a whole new monetary system?
In an “Art of the Deal” move, Trump threatens that he, himself, will be the draw for the public on the 4th celebration, in a move to entice real entertainers to perform <s/>
… I understand Artists are getting “the yips” having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate “Artists,” and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President! Two years ago, the United States was DEAD. Now we have the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. I don’t want so-called “Artists” that get paid far too much money, who aren’t happy. I only want to be surrounded by Happy People, Smart People, Successful People, and People that know how to WIN. So, by copy of this TRUTH, I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally on Wednesday, Washington, D.C., same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited — It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America! President DONALD J. TRUMP
“I only want to be surrounded by Happy People, Smart People, Successful People, and People that know how to WIN.”
Vietnamese, Afghani’s, and Iranians then?
Or Chinese and Russians.
Realistically free beer will make everyone happy.
Cheers to that!
How about the Corpulent Chaos Causing Cockwomble’s mug on a $3 bill?
Ask the bank for a two dollar bill they still print them.
Invite DEVO they still tour
Iggy Pop! Biff Naked! Abby Roach the spoon lady!
Ironically, it is a known money launderer putting his mug on a bill that increases max fiat denomination, which was reduced to, you guessed it, reduce money laundering. You could not sell this story if it was fiction.
At this point I’m half convinced he’s doing it to give authors something to chew on for the next few decades.
My guess is when you transit in and out of the US these bills will get a free pass regardless of the quantity, if you’re a white male. They will be assumed to be Republican since no Democrat would be caught dead with one.
If it is, it will be a fitting reminder when it’s used to buy gasoline.
A $250 bill is needed with inflation, but Trump doesn’t have to be on it.
At the rate we’re going, better make it $1,000.
In the meantime: a car manufacturer with a a large manufacturing presence in the US may be shut out of the US market:

It’s the new $5 bill, with inflation.
I want to see Trumps face on toilet paper down at Walmart. That will wipe the smile of Trumps face. 🙂
Ohhhh Limey,
Sooooo funny.
I’m laughing loudly.
I would like to have one.
It’s kinda appropriate. It is one way of saying what cost $100 in 2024 would cost $250 soon.
I said when he got elected that before he left office he would find a way to get his face on the currency.
I still think it will be on digital currency though rather than bills. Trump coin was just the beginning.
Let’s hope not, we don’t need to see any Politicians faces for eternity. Not to mention the irony of the fact that larger bill amounts, help to facilitate laundering.
More and more, I find life truly “Is What It Is”
Many would rejoice at seeing spray tan Caligula’s mug on their rarely used cash bills, but only under the strict proviso that the Orange Calf needs to be a dead president.
Never trust a man with spray tan & a comb over to hide their bald head.
His face will be on toilet paper, whether the Dollar will be that toilet paper is a possibility.
I could use that bill after number 2 with gusto!
A demonstration that who we elect as a leader absolutely does set the tone for the rest of the country. I have lived through two elections of Donald Trump and both times the shift in what kinds of behavior were socially acceptable was palpable within hours. Like a lot of people suddenly decided they could come out and be their true self, it just turned out that it was gleefully ugly and hateful.
I hate to quote the deplorable Cankles, but the MAGA are truly deplorable.
Sahel launched a new currency recently and ECOWAS intends for another by 2027.
I think there was an article about the US undermining the Sahel and claiming one nation was run by ISIS.
Nations run by ISIS – Libya, Syria – are in that state because the US put ISIS there.
Jolani is rumored to be placed Mossad.
At one point DOD ISIS was fighting CIA ISIS and both combating MOSSAD ISIS.
Like some bad movie.
Augustus had his money stamped with DIVI FILIUS on the back. Maybe trump bills have something similar.
I will repeat from two other threads.
First the 250 bill is HYPERINFLATION money. One of those will equal today’s dollar in purchasing power.
Second I mentioned how parents dumbed down their kids by allowing them to listen to Vanilla Ice instead of Snow. The Ice man was one of the few NOT to cancel Trumpalooza.
Snow is a Canuck you know he ain’t asked.
Maybe pull Markey Mark back from his low rent acting.
Yes I despise Markey Mark because of his gang racist attack that blinded an Asian man. Plus he did a crappy remake of the Andy Lau/Tony Leung classic INFERNAL AFFAIRS.
He claims he apologized ut the guy didn’t get his sight back.
Once a racist always a RACIST.
I was wondering what your take on Marky Mark was. Where do you stand on NKOTB?
Crappy boy bands now moved to Kpop.
I remember when bands like the Clash were political then the music industry created bullshit danceable rock and roll to undermine the message.
HYPERINFLATION is defined as prices doubling every 24 hours. Its happened 3 times in history.
Holy crap. This man is so in love with himself. Golden statues, victory arch, fabulous ballroom and now his face upon the currency. May God bless and take him unto his bosom, perhaps a bit sooner rather than later.
Other than Grant, what president left office broke?
Truman
Grant was an exceptional war logician. He was instrumental in the establishment of modern war strategy. Unfortunately, he was a very poor politician and his tenure as president was a disaster. I studied him at OCS many years ago and was impressed with his depth and thoroughness in the field. He is underappreciated. He was quite humble and certainly unlike Trump.
Plus he completed the railroad.
Truman.
Never before in this spawling pile of self dealing and blatant bribery
Pisses me off, “everyones does it”

Can I get an amen? 🙏🏻
If it did happen there would be a lot of defaced currency out there. In about six months if the Iranian war induced oil shock plays out like I expect it to Trump’s popularity will be around the level of Nixon’s right before he was impeached. Not many people are gonna want to see his face anywhere irrespective of the law barring this.
Do you still remember – there are 3 million Epstein files left to be released?
DUDE! War distracted from that, old news.
Epstein Fury
I don’t care.
More garish distractions unworthy of our attention. I can’t wait to see what silly justifications his sycophants offer. The funniest free entertainment in this time-frame is watching Bessent demean himself, about this, about inflation and gas prices, etc.
Trump believes a lot of things that aren’t true: “we beat Iran” and “the people love me”.
The delusions are only beginning to crank up to unimagined levels, even by Trump’s standards.
Why is it so hard to understand he is merely a showman distraction.
His every mumble generates FREE PRESS.
I think Rowdy Roddy Piper said that he was so mean to someone that a fan stabbed him with a knife.
Not by a fan sorry.
https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1114783/sgt-slaughter-tells-the-tale-of-roddy-piper-being-stabbed-by-a-fan/
Maybe not some sources claim it was one of THREE knife attacks on him.
Trump has dementia.
Thank God it’s the typical “cart before the horse” nonsense…
all talk about the magnificent cart…
when there is no fucking horse.
I so want to carry around money with his BIG BEAUTIFUL NOGGIN on it. He is an ugly man, both in appearance and in his actions as President. If anything, I would rather see his image on a label of Dog Food.
That is what two of the HYPERINFLATION bills will but a can of dog bood.
Lol, Trump needs to go on the 100 million bill. I would approve of that…
Taco’s face should be posted on every post office in the US as he is clearly the nation’s number one criminal.
Well they should put a picture of donny on el asso wipeo AKA ass wipe
That’s the 2nd time I’ve heard that in 2-3 days. It’s true. Trump-face toilet paper would sell like hotcakes.
Thank you and our intelligence services did that thr ass wipe routines to eastern European dictators in the 1950s so I borrowed the idea
Lot’s presidents were on toilet paper.
Trump is already on tp as is Obama and Clinton

2 million rolls of Usama and he would have been laughed out of Afghanistan. Would have saved us billions
Well the MEME coins sold, the Gold phone sold,Sneakers sold, Bibles sold, Trump store launched 168 items when it opened.
That rose to 622 this year.
