The US Treasury Department plans to put Donald Trump’s signature on all new US paper currency, the agency has announced.
The move would be a first for a sitting president, with US paper currency traditionally carrying the signatures of the treasury secretary and the treasurer.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement: “There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country, and President Donald J Trump, than US dollar bills bearing his name.”
It is just the latest instance of Mr Trump putting his name and likeness on American cultural institutions.
Here are all the other things the US president has put his name on.
Institute of Peace
In December, the Trump administration renamed the US Institute of Peace after Mr Trump and put the president’s name on its headquarters following a protracted struggle for control of the institute.
The State Department said it renamed the organisation the Donald J Trump Institute of Peace to “reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history”.
The change of name came almost nine months after his Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, took hold of the non-profit organisation and all but closed it.
The Kennedy Center
In December, the Kennedy Center added Mr Trump’s name to the performing arts complex Congress designated as a living memorial to former president John F Kennedy, a day after its board of trustees voted for the change.
It became The Donald J Trump and The John F Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.
Mr Trump was named chair of the Kennedy Center in February 2025.
The centre said the vote reflected Mr Trump’s work to revitalise the institution.
Critics of the vote, including Democratic members of Congress as well as some historians, insisted only Congress can change the name.
New class of battleship
In December, Mr Trump announced the navy’s plans to develop a new class of 30,000 to 40,000-tonne large surface battleship, which it said would “meet the realities of modern maritime conflict”.
The president said the Trump-class battleships would contribute to a new “golden fleet” of advanced warships.
“They’ll be the fastest, the biggest, and… 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built,” Mr Trump claimed during the announcement at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
They are currently in the design phase, with construction of the first vessel, the USS Defiant, planned for the early 2030s.
According to Mr Trump, the ship will come equipped with hypersonic missiles, nuclear cruise missiles, rail guns, and high-powered lasers – technologies that are in various stages of development by the navy.
Trump Accounts
In January, Mr Trump rolled out his government-supported investment accounts for babies in the US, calling on American businesses to contribute to employees’ family accounts.
“Decades from now, I believe the Trump accounts will be remembered as one of the most transformative policy innovations of all time,” Mr Trump said at a Washington event, which welcomed many babies to promote the administration’s pro-family messaging.
The investment accounts for newborns were created last year under Mr Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, his party’s signature tax and spending legislation.

The accounts are set to officially launch on 4 July this year.
