Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC) has introduced the "Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act" in Washington, D.C. The proposed legislation instructs the Bureau of Printing and Engraving to create a $250 bill featuring the image of former President Donald J. Trump. This move also seeks to amend existing 19th-century legislation that prohibits living individuals from being depicted on U.S. currency, making an exception for those who have served as President.

The introduction of this bill comes ahead of the 250th anniversary of the United States, with the aim of both offering a higher denomination note to reduce cash-carrying needs and symbolically honoring a past President during the nation's Semiquincentennial celebrations.

Congressman Wilson commented, "Bidenflation has destroyed the economy forcing American families to carry more cash. President Trump is working tirelessly to fight inflation and help American families. This achievement is deserving of currency recognition, which is why I am grateful to introduce this legislation. The most valuable bill for the most valuable President!"

The bill's original cosponsors include Representatives Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), Ralph Norman (R-SC), and Darrell Issa (R-CA).
