Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday gave Fox News’ Jesse Watters a preview of newly printed and minted money featuring President Donald Trump’s signature on bills and face on coins.

Bessent showed Watters $100 bills with Trump’s signature, which he said would hit circulation this fall.

But Trump’s signature won’t be limited to the Benjamins.

“It’s gonna be on all the currency for the 250th,” Bessent said.

It will be the first time a sitting president’s signature has appeared on U.S. bills; current bills have the signatures of the Treasury secretary and the treasurer of the United States.

Fox News also rolled footage of commemorative $1 coins being minted with Trump’s face on the front ― part of a push by the president and his allies to add his name and image to as many public places and objects as possible.

Trump slapped his name on the Kennedy Center, but a federal judge ordered him to remove it. As the name was removed, a tarp was installed to hide the work ― and it has remained up ever since.

Trump has also transformed the U.S. Institute of Peace into the Donald J. Trump U.S. Institute of Peace ― something his ongoing war with Iran hasn’t changed ― and said he wants to name a new path connecting the Lincoln Memorial to the Potomac River “the Trump Promenade.” There were also reports last year that he wanted to name the planned White House ballroom for himself, although he later denied it.

Now, his face is coming to U.S. coins and his signature to paper currency.

Watters wondered aloud if liberals would “burn” bills with Trump’s signature.

“Well, that’s good for the U.S. government,” said Bessent, who then attempted a joke: “Their hair is on fire so they should keep it away from their hair.”

Critics on social media didn’t threaten to burn the money, as Watters suggested.

But some said they’d return any Trump coins to the bank, and more than a few suggested they would alter the Trump-signed bills.

And many were outraged at yet another effort by the president to slap his name on even more items:

This is fucking insane! https://t.co/muMgSa678M

I’ll request money without his signature - if I eventually can’t get it - I’ll write pedophile criminal next to it on every bill https://t.co/tXrpl0F3PW

I will make sure any bill that I get with his signatures promptly returned as well as any coin https://t.co/ncIEZzXkgx

If I get one of these I’m scribbling his name out.

Never in the history of the American Republic has a sitting president put his name & face on government buildings, property, military weapons & instruments. It’s what kings & autocrats do - no US president ever has until now, enabled by Republican toadies, sycophants & cultists. https://t.co/9TT1ULa3P7

250th never came up during the campaign. I wonder how many people would have cared how much Trump wanted to get his name and face on everything and wreck the White House and build monuments to himself, if that would have changed enough swing votes. https://t.co/9IQ2du0och

Do the Trump coins help with this? https://t.co/G7RcYNAFW7 pic.twitter.com/MMxSyDuhdu

This is ridiculous.Trump is one of the most narcissistic presidents the U.S. has ever had. Seriously, no one asked for this. 🙃🙄 https://t.co/sGa6FERAXI

The quickest way to completely cashless society.#Trump #Currency #TrumpCoin https://t.co/qUnZ87qQ9x

It's gonna be a pain in the butt unwinding the crap Trump leaves us once he's thrown out of office. Maybe these coins will be a collectors item someday? 🤣Take his name off the coins. Put him in prison.https://t.co/afSv9ngO9k

Why is getting Trump’s face on currency a priority in any way? pic.twitter.com/sZ2BAfsKSu
