SC’s Joe Wilson wants to print new money with Donald Trump’s portrait. Here’s his idea
Those who carry cash would have a denomination as an option with President Donald Trump’s face, at least under the idea of one of South Carolina’s congressmen.
U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, R-Springdale, a staunch supporter of Trump, says he’s planning to propose a $250 dollar bill to include the president’s portrait.
“Bidenflation has destroyed the economy forcing American families to carry more cash. Most valuable bill for (the) most valuable President!” Wilson posted on X.
Federal law, however, prohibits any living person from being depicted on U.S. currency.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing currently prints $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 notes. Previous higher denominations are no longer printed.
Wilson’s planned proposal would play to a GOP primary voting base especially in a state where Trump is very popular.
