Fact Check: Is US Treasury considering putting Trump's face on a new $25 bill?
WASHINGTON, DC: Since Donald Trump took office for his second run as the President of the United States, several rumors regarding him circulated across social media, and most of the rumors were later debunked.
Recently, a rumor circulated online claiming that the US Treasury is considering putting Donald Trump's face on a new $25 bill. But is there any truth to this? Let us find out below.
Claim: US Treasury considering putting Trump's face on a new $25 bill
An X post by @HoopsCrave stated, "The US Treasury is reportedly considering putting Donald Trump on a new $25 bill." The viral X post garnered more than 245,000 views, and more than 8,000 users liked the post.
Interestingly, in October 2025, the Treasury Department considered minting a $1 coin bearing Donald Trump’s likeness on both sides to honor him and commemorate the US's 250th birthday in 2026.

Interestingly, a first draft of that coin depicted Trump’s head in profile on one side, above the words "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the dates 1776 and 2026.
Meanwhile, the other side of the coin shows a defiant-looking Trump raising his fist, closely matching the pose he struck moments after surviving a shooting attempt at a 2024 presidential campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
Moreover, the words 'FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT', which Trump told his supporters right after that attack, appeared around the edge of that side of the coin.
Fact Check: False, no credible evidence to back the claim
The claim made in the X post that the US Treasury is considering putting Donald Trump on a new $25 bill is false, as there is no evidence to back the viral claim.
Moreover, no official announcements, press releases, or credible news reports support this rumor as of March 8, 2026. Searches of the Treasury Department's press releases page showed no mentions of new bill designs involving the POTUS in March 2026.
Furthermore, the claim appears to be satirical, likely riffing on real but unrelated currency proposals.
The US currency designs, bills, and coins are managed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the US Mint under the Treasury. Any changes to circulating bills are rare and require congressional approval.
Moreover, denominations like $25 have never existed in standard US currency, and current bills are $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100.
