Trump Administration Considers New Currency Design, Federal Employee NDAs

The Trump administration is exploring a $250 bill featuring Trump's image and implementing NDAs for federal workers to prevent leaks.

Synthesized from 19 sources

The Trump administration is pursuing two distinct policy initiatives involving government operations and currency design, according to administration sources.

Treasury Department officials are developing plans for a new $250 bill that would feature President Trump's portrait and signature, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The initiative would require congressional legislation to move forward, as changes to U.S. currency design typically need legislative approval.

Separately, the Office of Personnel Management is advancing a proposal to require non-disclosure agreements for current federal employees. The plan aims to prevent internal government information from being leaked to news media outlets, according to the OPM director.

The NDA proposal represents a significant shift in federal employment practices, as government workers traditionally have not been required to sign such agreements as a condition of their employment. The administration has cited concerns about unauthorized disclosures of internal deliberations and policy discussions.

Both initiatives reflect the administration's broader efforts to control information flow and establish new protocols within federal agencies. The currency proposal would mark an unusual step, as sitting presidents are typically not featured on U.S. bills during their time in office.

Neither proposal has been finalized, and both would face various procedural and potentially legal hurdles before implementation.
