Sheets of dollar bills rolling off the presses at the Fort Worth Bureau of Engraving and Printing will soon bear the signature of US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen

But as it turns out, there was a lot riding on that little John Hancock, Yellen said Wednesday night as a guest on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” “I knew this was something you could really screw up, and I wanted to get it right,” she told Colbert. “And I practiced, and I practiced.” In her first time as a guest on the late-night talk show, Yellen chatted inflation, economic uncertainty and the chicken scratch of the Treasury Secretaries who came before her.

It’s been tradition for more than a century that both the US treasurer and the Treasury secretary sign currency to make them legal tender. And despite Yellen being in her role since January 2021, it’s taken until now because of the delayed appointment of a new treasurer. In June, President Joe Biden appointed Marilynn Malerba to the post of treasurer. Their signatures will carry some added significance: It’s the first time in history that two women’s signatures will appear on US bills.

HEY cnn,how about covering the proof of media/tech/government collusion to sway the 2020 election by suppressing the laptop proof that Hunter was given millions by China and Ukraine, for NOTHING... except access to sitting VP Joe, who knew it AND pocketed 10% of the take.

What’s the big deal?

That's all we need. Print more money. Pretty soon the dollar is going to cave in. I'd say by this time next year there will be regular conversation about how to deal with the collapsing dollar. Also this happened today.

Toilet paper.

I’m sure it was not printing billions that got us in a wreck. It was that evil middle class

Who cares

Why you need so much $? satan and his gang in control of the world now. so? i lead a simple vegan lifestyle, spend less than $10/day. i don't envy anybody at all, only use $ on useful bks, and they are not expensive, most are very cheap. There's this FREE book known as Bible.

Let's talk the twitter files...thats real news

Her signatures not worth the paper it’s printed on—quite literally… fjb

Perhaps, in addition to her signature, they can include her portrait.

Go ahead cover the biggest story ever that Elon Musk just tweeted about. I dare you to actually report a true story for a change.

CNN is there something you are forgetting to mention tonight?

Sheets Backed by what?

Wow you guys are missing the biggest story ever…no coverage of TwitterGate

Vote Walker for a better safer America 🇺🇸

ArmitaAbbasi, a 20y/o girl who was repeatedly raped by the forces of the Islamic Republic,was taken to the hospital due to internal bleeding and was kidnapped by the IRGC after a few hours After 48 days,there's still no news about her condition.

Faaaark…don’t start a story with the sentence they are printing money …1/2 the readers will have a coronary before they get to the relevant bit…

What a fucking joke.

After arresting the innocent protesters, the Islamic Republic doesn't hand over the bodies of those who were killed under torture to their families. They force families to confess that their child has committed suicide! MahsaAmini

That signature will be as worthless as the paper it was printed on. Thanks for the record breaking inflation!

“GIVE me control of a nation’s money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.”

🙋🏻I have a question. Why? To give homage to how bad can it get?
