    MAGA isn't sold on Trump's face on the $250 bill

    A YouGov poll reveals 26% of MAGA supporters oppose placing Trump's face on a $250 bill, while 48% support it. Legal barriers exist due to a 1866 law prohibiting living persons on currency and the absence of a $250 denomination in current legal tender. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated the department would follow existing laws and await congressional authorization for any changes.
