The United States is once again making headlines, this time over a currency-related proposal. According to media reports, preparations are underway to issue a $250 bill featuring a portrait of former President Donald Trump. If approved by Congress, this would mark the first time in over 150 years that a living person’s image appears on U.S. currency. Current U.S. law permits only deceased individuals to be featured on banknotes, meaning Congress would need to pass new legislation to legalize the move.
