The development comes little over two months after it was announced that Trump will feature on a gold coin to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary.
On Thursday, the Washington Post reported that US Treasurer Brandon Beach and his senior adviser Mike Brown urged the staff at the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) to prepare prototypes of the USD 250 note.
According to the US federal law, only deceased persons can be featured on currency notes. The US Congress will have to pass a new law to allow Trump’s portrait to feature on a currency note.
