- 特朗普任命的委员会批准了印有其形象的金币
- 批评者称使用在任总统形象不合时宜
- 该提案是在建筑和货币上推广特朗普名字和形象的新举措
华盛顿，3月19日（路透社） – 由唐纳德·特朗普任命的联邦艺术委员会周四全票通过了一枚印有他形象的纪念金币设计，这是特朗普政府为庆祝总统而采取的最新举措。
包括民主党人和另一个联邦艺术委员会成员在内的批评者表示，铸造在任总统形象的硬币违背了美国价值观，尤其是在国家庆祝建国250周年和英国君主制结束之际。

美国造币局官员向艺术委员会做介绍时，讨论集中在这枚24K金币的直径上，最大可达三英寸。
26岁的白宫助理钱伯斯·哈里斯（Chamberlain Harris）是特朗普今年任命到该委员会的成员，她说最大尺寸的金币将是特朗普的偏好。
“越大越好，”她在金币获得全委员会批准前片刻说道。
美国造币局现在将确定硬币的最终尺寸。特朗普已批准设计方案，预计财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）——特朗普的忠实拥护者——将下令铸造该金币。

白宫将问题转介给财政部。财政部和美国造币局未立即回应置评请求。
这枚金币将描绘一位神情严肃的特朗普俯身办公桌、目光前视的形象，其设计基于华盛顿国家肖像馆展出的一张照片。
“君主和独裁者才会把头像印在硬币上，而不是民主国家的领导人，”美国民主党参议员杰夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）在一份声明中告诉路透社。
“特朗普政府试图将其肖像印在纪念币上，这是其歪曲美国250周年诞辰意义的最新举动。”
特朗普政府还提出了另一项印有特朗普形象的1美元硬币提案，旨在纪念美国1776年脱离英国统治的独立宣言。
金币是庆祝特朗普的最新举措
唐纳德·斯卡拉辛奇（Donald Scarinci）是两党公民造币咨询委员会（一个独立的联邦小组，上月拒绝考虑金币提案）的成员，他表示，1美元硬币将明显违反一项法律，该法律禁止在世或卸任总统的形象出现在流通的美元硬币上，除非在其去世三年后。
然而，对于金币而言存在一个潜在漏洞，因为与将进入流通的1美元硬币不同，这枚金币是不流通的收藏币。
斯卡拉辛奇称，根据法律，他所在的委员会和艺术委员会都有责任批准任何硬币设计。
“但我们仍完全预计他们会继续推进并铸造这两种硬币，”斯卡拉辛奇说。
金币提案是特朗普政府将其名字和形象印在公共机构和美国货币上的最新努力。
自2025年1月重返白宫以来，特朗普已将自己的名字印在华盛顿的标志性建筑、计划中的海军战舰级别、面向富裕外国人的签证项目、政府运营的处方药网站以及儿童联邦储蓄账户上。
将华盛顿首屈一指的表演场馆更名为”唐纳德·J·特朗普和约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术纪念中心”引发了强烈反对。
特朗普亲自挑选的肯尼迪中心董事会周一投票决定将该机构关闭两年进行翻修。
波托马克河对岸坐落着美国和平研究所（U.S. Institute of Peace），这是一个由国会设立、专注于冲突避免的政府资助智库。
12月3日，国务院将其更名为”唐纳德·J·特朗普和平研究所”，三个月后特朗普开始对伊朗发动战争。

- Summary
- Trump-picked panel approves gold coin with Trump’s image
- Critics say using sitting president’s image is inappropriate
- Proposal is new move to promote Trump’s name and image on buildings and currency
WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) – A federal arts panel comprised of members appointed by Donald Trump on Thursday unanimously approved a commemorative gold coin featuring his image, the latest effort by the administration to celebrate the president.
Critics, including Democrats and members of another federal arts committee, said minting a coin with a sitting president’s image went against American values, especially as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday this year and the end of British monarchical rule.

During a presentation by a U.S. Mint official to the Commission of Fine Arts, discussion turned to what diameter the 24-carat coin should be, up to a maximum of three inches.
Chamberlain Harris, 26, a White House aide who Trump appointed to the commission this year, said the biggest possible coin would be Trump’s preference.
“The larger the better,” she said, shortly before the coin was approved by the entire panel.
The U.S. Mint will now produce final dimensions for the coin. Trump has already approved the design and it is expected that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a Trump loyalist, will order the coin to be minted.

The White House referred questions to the Treasury Department. The Treasury Department and the U.S. Mint did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The coin would depict a stern-looking Trump leaning over a desk and staring forward. It is based on a photograph displayed in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington.
“Monarchs and dictators put their faces on coins, not leaders of a democracy,” Jeff Merkley, a Democratic U.S. senator, told Reuters in a statement.
“Trump’s administration moving to put his face on a commemorative coin is his latest effort to distort the meaning of America’s 250th birthday.”
The Trump administration has also proposed a different, $1 coin featuring Trump’s image that would mark America’s 1776 Declaration of Independence from British rule.
COIN IS LATEST EFFORT TO CELEBRATE TRUMP
Donald Scarinci, a member of the bipartisan Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee – a separate federal panel that refused to consider the gold coin proposal last month – said the one dollar coin would be in clear breach of a law that prohibits the image of a sitting or former president being on a dollar coin until three years after their death.
There is a potential loophole, however, when it comes to the gold coin, because unlike the dollar coin, which would be in circulation, the gold coin is a non-circulating collector coin.
Scarinci said under law both his panel and the Commission of Fine Arts are meant to approve any coins.
“But we still fully expect them to plough ahead and mint both coins,” Scarinci said.
The gold coin proposal is the Trump administration’s latest effort to place his name and image on public institutions and U.S. currency.
Since he reentered the White House in January 2025, Trump has affixed his name to prominent Washington buildings, a planned class of Navy warships, a visa program for wealthy foreigners, a government-run prescription drug website, and federal savings accounts for children.
There was fierce backlash against the renaming of Washington’s premier performance venue as the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.
Trump’s handpicked Kennedy Center board of trustees voted on Monday to close the institution for two years for renovations.
Just up the Potomac River sits the U.S. Institute of Peace, a government-funded think tank established by Congress and focused on conflict avoidance.
On December 3 the State Department renamed it the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, three months before Trump began a war with Iran.
