YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Treasury Department has prepared mock-up designs for a new $250 bill that would feature President Donald Trump's portrait, a move that would make him the first living person featured on American currency in more than 150 years.

However, whether the Trump $250 bill is ever released ‒ and becomes official currency ‒ likely depends on the passage of Republican-backed legislation that has failed to advance in Congress.
