美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周三在X平台上宣布，美国铸币局将开始生产一款印有特朗普总统头像的新款1美元金币，这是特朗普试图在联邦符号和机构中留下印记的最新例证。
贝森特表示，该硬币是美国建国250周年纪念活动的一部分，将“纪念自由的持久遗产以及爱国主义的永恒象征”。
他补充道：“这款硬币以特朗普总统为形象，颂扬美国价值观的力量，以及一个致力于为所有人维护自由的国家的承诺。”
美国财政部发言人告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，该硬币目前已投入生产，将于今年秋季开始发售。发言人表示，硬币由非贵金属制成，但将带有“仿金外观”。

今年5月，美国财政部曾表示正在考虑发行一张印有特朗普头像的250美元纸币，但称此举需要修改联邦法律。
贝森特当时在新闻发布会上解释称，除非相关立法获得通过并修改相关规定，否则在世人士不得出现在美国货币上。所有美国货币还必须印有“我们信仰上帝”的字样。
美国法典规定：“只有已故个人的肖像才可出现在美国货币和证券上。该个人的姓名需印在肖像下方。”
特朗普政府此前也曾为美国建国250周年纪念硬币提出过相同的设计方案。根据联邦法律，两党制的公民铸币咨询委员会必须对拟议的纪念硬币设计进行审查并批准。
特朗普政府辩称，根据2020年的一项法律，总统可以出现在新硬币上，该法律允许在2026年1月1日开始的一年期内发行“带有纪念美国建国250周年标志性设计”的1美元硬币。
U.S. Mint to make $1 gold coin with Trump’s face on it

The U.S. Mint will start producing a new $1 gold coin bearing President Trump’s face, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on X Wednesday, the latest example of how Mr. Trump is trying to leave a mark on federal symbols and institutions.
Part of the administration’s efforts to commemorate the U.S.’s 250th birthday, Bessent said the coin will “honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism.”
“Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all,” he added.
The coin is already in production and will be available beginning this fall, a spokesperson for the Treasury Department told CBS News. It’s composed of non-precious metals, but will have a “gold-like finish,” the spokesperson said.

In May, the Treasury Department said it was considering issuing a $250 bill featuring Mr. Trump, but that doing so would require a change in federal law.
At a press briefing at the time, Bessent explained that no living person may appear on U.S. currency unless proposed legislation passes and changes the rules. All U.S. currency must also bear the inscription “In God We Trust.”
“Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities. The name of the individual shall be inscribed below the portrait,” the U.S. Code states.
The Trump administration had previously proposed the same design for the semiquincentennial coin. Under federal law, the bipartisan Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee must review and approve proposed commemorative coin designs.
The Trump administration has argued that the president may appear on a new coin, under a 2020 law allowing new designs to commemorate the U.S. semiquincentennial.
A Treasury Department spokesperson pointed to the law, which authorizes it to issue $1 coins “with designs emblematic of the United States Semiquincentennial during the one-year period beginning January 1, 2026.”
