US Congressman Proposes Bill To Put Trump On New $250 Bill In Celebration Of America’s 250th Birthday, & The Internet Has Some Thoughts
Hailey Minn·CULTURE·March 1, 2025
I’ll take my next paycheck in 250s, please!
Congressman Joe Wilson from South Carolina is the guy best known for shouting “You lie!” at Barack Obama back in 2009, and now his name is back out there for another hilarious statement, this time in the form of proposing the $250 bill featuring the face of our fearless leader, Donald J. Trump.
If a $250 bill doesn’t seem familiar to you, that’s because it doesn’t exist. So not only would it be a brand new US Currency value, it would be featuring Trump’s mug that we all know and love. Well, maybe not all love… but enough people love to secure him a landslide victory over Kamala Harris in last the presidential election.
His reasoning for this idea was to commemorate America’s 250th birthday coming up in 2026, and I have to say, I think it is just a fabulous way to celebrate.

IIRC, there are no living presidents (or others, in the case of Franklin) on coins or currency.

One historical exception, with an obvious asterisk attached

Well, He's not living now...
Arguably, not United States' Money.
But worth 4X face value or more...
