The Treasury Department is unveiling a redesigned $100 bill that, according to The Daily Wire, replaces the Treasurer of the United States’ signature with President Donald Trump’s signature as part of the administration’s efforts tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary.

The redesigned note is printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s Washington, D.C., facility, The Daily Wire reported, with a second plant in Fort Worth, Texas, serving as a backup operation. The outlet said the two facilities together can print up to $1 billion in currency per day.

According to the report, production begins with the reverse side of the bill before Benjamin Franklin’s portrait is printed. The bills are produced in large sheets, given serial numbers, then cut into individual notes, bundled and prepared for shipment before entering circulation.

The Daily Wire framed the new bill as the latest example of Trump putting his name on federal initiatives. Trump Accounts — a tax-advantaged investment program for children administered through the Treasury Department — officially launched on July 4, 2026, according to Treasury announcements.

Separately, Trump’s effort to attach his name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has been blocked in court. In late May, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled the attempted renaming was unlawful, writing that Congress named the Kennedy Center and only Congress can change its name; a federal appeals court later refused to pause that order while the case is appealed.

What people are saying

Users celebrated the bill as historic with positive reactions from supporters. Some noted potential backlash from critics. Media shared clips of the signature reveal. Skeptical posts questioned legal challenges to the design. Announcements included images of the new currency.
