Americans Strongly Disapprove of Trump’s Signature as New Monopoly Money Feature

KEY POINTS

  • On March 30, 2026, YouGov polled 18,663 US adults about Trump replacing Treasurer Brandon Beach’s signature on currency.
  • Almost 60% disapproved of the change, with the strongest opposition from Midwest residents and those aged 65 and older.
  • The Treasury claimed adding Trump’s signature would commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, but cash use has dropped to just 14% of payments.

On March 30, 2026, 18,663 Americans decisively told YouGov they’re not about Trump’s plan to autograph U.S. currency by replacing Treasurer Brandon Beach’s signature—because who wouldn’t want 48% of the country strongly saying no to cash that screams 'Send me to the shadow vault'? The disapproval spans regions, with Midwest boasting a brag-worthy 54% 'absolutely nope,' while Black respondents lead racial protest at 59%. Old folks 65+ animatedly hate this more than kids (35% disapprove). Even with cash fading as a payment method—just 14% usage, thank the Federal Reserve—Treasury still wants to celebrate America’s 250th with Trump's signature turning bills into collectibles, until who-knows-when. And 13% still think the president's name is already on dollar bills, bless their confused hearts.
