WATCH: How President Trump’s New $100 Bill Is Made

The Daily Wire got a first look at the latest way the Trump Administration is commemorating America’s 250th birthday. The Treasury Department is unveiling a new $100 bill with President Trump’s signature. The previous $100 bill, remodeled in 2009, featured the Treasury Secretary’s signature and the Treasurer’s signature, but on the new bill, President Trump’s signature will replace the Treasurer’s.

The $100 bill itself is printed from start to finish at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, D.C., one of only two facilities in the country capable of producing U.S. currency. The bureau’s sister facility in Fort Worth, Texas, serves as a backup printing operation, allowing the government to continue producing currency if one facility were ever taken offline. Together, the two plants can print up to $1 billion in currency per day.

Production begins with printing the reverse side of the note before Benjamin Franklin’s portrait is added. The bills are printed in large sheets, assigned unique serial numbers, cut into individual notes, counted into bundles, and packaged into shipments worth millions of dollars before entering circulation. The Daily Wire also viewed previous generations of the $100 bill dating back to 1928, highlighting the evolution of the note’s security features and design.

The $100 bill is the latest object Trump has labeled with his name. On July 4, he unveiled Trump Accounts, a tax-advantaged investment program for American children dawned with his surname. Earlier, he also placed his name on the John F. Kennedy Center after taking control of its board, renaming it the Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts. A federal appeals court later ruled that only Congress had the power to rename an institution that was dedicated to a living memorial for President John F. Kennedy. 

The Trump branding predates his presidency. As a private citizen, Trump built an empire around his name, creating Trump Tower, Trump hotels, Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, Trump Vodka, Trump Ice bottled water, Trump University, Trump Magazine, Trump mattresses, and dozens of other products and properties.
