Why It Matters

美国联邦法律禁止将在世人物肖像印在法定货币上,但川普在第二个任期中多次尝试将个人形象与国家象征绑定,包括更改纪念币设计和推动签名纸币。

為慶祝美國建國250週年,美國財政部2日正式發行印有總統川普肖像的1美元硬幣。美國鑄幣局(US Mint)證實,這些硬幣不僅供民眾收藏,也將直接投入市面流通。然而,將在世總統肖像印在具法定價值的流通貨幣上,已明顯牴觸「美國貨幣不得印有在世人物」的聯邦法律。

法新社報導,美國財政部初步宣布這項計畫時,外界並不清楚這些硬幣是否僅具紀念性質。目前官方提供套組販售,一卷25枚的1美元硬幣售價為61美元(約新台幣1937元),溢價高達144%;包含100枚硬幣的包裝售價則為154.50美元(約新台幣4905元)。

請繼續往下閱讀...

這款新硬幣的正面印有川普肖像,並刻有「自由」(Liberty)、「我們信仰上帝」(In God We Trust),以及象徵美國獨立250週年的「1776-2026」字樣;背面則採用美國總統印章的改版設計,圖案為一隻老鷹抓著箭矢與橄欖枝,並覆蓋著寫有「250」的盾牌。

這是川普史無前例地試圖將個人印記烙印在國家機構上的最新舉措。在第二個任期中,川普頻頻打破慣例並無視法律挑戰,大力重塑美國政府機構與國家象徵,此前的爭議包括將自己的名字冠上甘迺迪藝術中心(Kennedy Center),以及拆除白宮東廂(East Wing)以騰出空間改建為全新的宴會廳。

川普近期正積極推動將其肖像與名字與美國貨幣深度結合。5月,財政部長貝森特(Scott Bessent)曾透露,財政部正研擬發行印有川普肖像的新版250美元紙鈔,但他當時坦承此舉需要國會修法解禁。此外,財政部3月宣布,美國紙鈔將印上川普簽名,同樣創下史上首例。

針對新款1美元硬幣是否直接違法的問題,美國財政部並未立即回應置評請求。

US President Donald Trump suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz to 'Trump Strait' on social media, claiming U.S. control over the waterway amid tensions with Iran. This follows previous proposals to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' and the Gulf of Mexico as 'Gulf of America', none of which have been accepted by Mexico or Canada. Trump has a pattern of turning jokey remarks into formal name changes.
