Trump's face could appear on US $250 proposal
Head Donald Trump could soon appear on a new $250 proposal in the Republicans' latest move to shatter US traditions by putting his personal stamp on national institutions.
A suggested strategy for the new proposal, featuring a glaring Trump, was documented Thursday by the Washington Post .
If carried out, it would be the first time the image of a living person -- let alone a head -- had appeared on US tender in a century and a half.
The design mock-up obtained by the Washington Post also shows the words "America 250 anniversary," a nod to the United States declaring its independence on July 4, 1776.
According to the Post, two Trump appointees at the Treasury Division last year began urging staff at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to prepare prototypes.
Employees there, speaking on condition of anonymity, informed the Post that the strategy raised concerns because it would violate a federal statute banning the depiction of living presidents on US money.
