美元紙幣將印上特朗普簽名，“旨在紀念美國建國250周年”

據路透社27日報道，美國財政部26日表示，從2026年夏天開始，美元紙幣將印有美國總統特朗普的簽名，這將是美國歷史上首次有在任總統的簽名出現在貨幣上。這些重新設計的紙幣旨在紀念美國建國250周年。

US paper currency will bear US ?President Donald Trump's signature starting this summer, the first time a sitting president has signed American money, the Treasury Department said on Thursday.

The redesigned notes, planned to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, will also for the first time in 165 years drop the signature of the US treasurer, who reports to the Treasury Secretary and oversees the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the US Mint and other Treasury functions.

首批印有特朗普及美國財政部長貝森特簽名的100美元紙幣將于6月印制，隨后數月將陸續印制其他面額紙幣。新版紙幣可能需要數周時間才能通過銀行系統流通。

The first $100 bills with Trump's signature and that of US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be printed in June, followed by other bills in subsequent months. The new bills may take several weeks to circulate through banks.

報道指出，此次簽名變更，是特朗普政府及其盟友將總統姓名冠于建筑、機構、政府項目、軍艦及硬幣上的最新舉措。一個由特朗普任命成員組成的聯邦藝術委員會上周批準了印有特朗普肖像的紀念金幣的設計方案。

The signature change is the latest effort by the Trump administration and its allies to put the president's name on buildings, institutions, government programs, warships and coins. A federal arts panel, whose members Trump appointed, approved last week the design for a commemorative gold coin with Trump's image.

貝森特在一份聲明中表示，鑒于特朗普第二任期內“美國經濟增長強勁且金融體系穩定”，此舉作為紀念美國建國250周年的安排“十分合適”。

Bessent said in a statement that the move was appropriate for the US 250th ?anniversary, given strong US economic growth and financial stability during Trump's second term.

"There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than US dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial," Bessent said.

此前，由于法律禁止在美國硬幣上印制在世人物的肖像，推出流通版“1美元特朗普硬幣”的計劃曾受阻。

An effort for a circulating $1 Trump coin was set back by laws prohibiting the depiction of living individuals on US coins.

財政部官員還表示，除特朗普的簽名將取代國庫長的簽名外，紙幣的整體設計不會改變。目前尚無法立即看到印有特朗普簽名的100美元紙幣樣稿。
