Brandon Gill, a Republican from Texas, intends to submit to Congress a bill envisaging the issuance of a new $100 banknote. Instead of the usual image of one of the founding fathers of the United States, Benjamin Franklin, a portrait of the current US President, Donald Trump, should appear on this bill. In an interview with an American TV channel, Gill explained that the placement of Trump's portrait on the banknote would be a symbolic act of recognition of his achievements in the coming four years. The document accompanying the initiative states that starting from January 1, 2029, $100 banknotes should be issued exclusively with the image of Donald John Trump. Moreover, by the end of 2026, the Ministry of Finance is required to submit to the public a preliminary design of the new banknote. The bill was named the «Golden Age Act of 2025», reflecting the initiator's desire to emphasize the importance of the period associated with the Trump presidency. Earlier, a number of other Republicans also took initiatives to create new banknotes with the image of Donald Trump. So, in February, Congressman Joe Wilson from South Carolina proposed the development of a $250 bill. And in June 2024, Arizona representative Paul Gosar came up with the idea of issuing a $500 banknote, which should also feature a portrait of the former president.
