Trump posts mockup $100 bill with “president” signature and Bessent name
The Series 2025 design carries a “President of the United States” signature line that does not appear on genuine currency and a Treasury signature reading Scott Bessent.
WHITE HOUSE — Donald Trump has posted a mockup $100 Federal Reserve Note bearing Declaration of Independence text on a Truth Social post on July 3, 2026 at 2:45 PM EST.
Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “100 A1 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE AZ 00000000 A Al UNITED INA FED STATES RESERVE Anun President of the United States. Grath Bersent Secretary of the Treasury. 100 0100 100 FRANKLIN ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS JUHOE UNITED STATES OFAMERICA THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE JULY 4, 1776.

The image depicts a $100 note carrying “100” in all four corners, the portrait of Benjamin Franklin labeled “FRANKLIN,” and the phrases “FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE,” “ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS” and “THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.” It shows the placeholder serial number “AZ 00000000 A,” the code “A1,” a “SERIES 2025” marking, the Federal Reserve System seal, the green Treasury seal, and background passages from the Declaration of Independence with the date “JULY 4, 1776.”
Two features set the design apart from authentic money. A signature line reading “President of the United States” appears where genuine notes carry the Treasurer of the United States, and the Treasury signature reads Scott Bessent, the sitting secretary. Real bills do not carry a presidential signature line, which marks the graphic as a novelty, proposal or altered image rather than legal tender.

The “A1” code identifies the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the First District, one of twelve regional banks whose district letter and number appear on each note (see uspapermoney.info). On Federal Reserve Notes one letter of the serial number matches the district letter, and the series date changes only when the note design is altered (see uspapermoney.info).
