Potential $250 Trump dollar bill

[pmbug]

If lawmakers get their way, President Donald Trump's face will be on a special piece of legal tender to celebrate America's quarter-millennial anniversary -- and, as with all things Trump-related, it'll be yuge.

A bill introduced by GOP Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina and cosponsored by 13 other Republicans would put Trump's face on a $250 bill minted in 2026 for America's 250th birthday.

And, while the legislation was initially introduced in February without much movement on it recently, both the co-sponsors and the president himself are giving H.R. 1761 -- the "Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act" -- a renewed push in the media.

The bill states "that $250 bills with the portrait of Donald J. Trump be printed to commemorate the semiquincentennial of the United States" and that existing federal code be altered, so that living presidents can be so honored.

Most small stores won't cash a 50 or a 100 dollar bill, but with the loss of value of American money we will need the 1,000 and 5,000 soon.

Need $500 & $1000 notes too.

One step at a time.

Gotta say I'm not really a fan of this, but if it is successful perhaps some future POTUS will feel the need to out do Trump by putting his mug on the $500.
.......and the next, the $1000.

So with a bit of good fortune this might eventually lead to getting big notes back into circulation. Because if this goes through, I've no doubt the notes will be in demand and will get used. Ie: it'll help increase the use of cash.
....and if they get used, more people might start seeing the utility in being able to use such large notes. Which might lead to demand for even larger notes.

With inflation as it's been over the decades since the large notes were removed from circulation, a case could be made to bring back the $10,000 and $100,000 notes too.

Maybe we can get an Obama 50 cent note so we can use it as toilet paper.

It's the new $20.

Except...you can't spend it anywhere, without a data-center algo catching you doing it, on all their surveillance cameras.
