A $250 banknote featuring US President Donald Trump may be on its way, as his administration officials are reportedly pushing for the currency to be printed.
The Trump administration is pressing the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) to design a $250 banknote with Trump's picture in the centre, The Washington Post reported.
However, staff members have flagged concerns, saying federal law currently allows only deceased individuals to appear on banknotes.
British painter Iain Alexander is the artist who designed the banknote, and a Treasury Department spokesperson said the printing office is conducting appropriate planning and due diligence.
When the two appointees, Treasurer Brandon Beach and his senior adviser Mike Brown, pressured the bureau to design the notes, then-director Patricia "Patty" Solimene reportedly explained that it would take years to make it happen.
