7月15日（路透社）——美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特周三表示，作为美国建国250周年纪念活动的一部分，美国铸币局将开始发行正面印有总统唐纳德·特朗普头像的1美元硬币。
该设计正面还印有“自由”“我们信仰上帝”和“1776-2026”字样，背面则印有总统印章上的白头鹰图案，这是对去年10月公布的设计草案的修改。当时的草案背面图案是特朗普高举紧握的拳头，周围配有“战斗、战斗、战斗”字样，这一设计呼应了2024年针对他的暗杀企图。

特朗普表示，他对这枚硬币感到“荣幸”。
“他们给了我一枚硬币，”特朗普在接受福克斯商业频道采访时说道，“据我所知，这非常罕见。”
批评人士对该设计的合法性提出了质疑。1866年的美国法律规定，不得在由雕刻与印刷局发行的纸币上使用在世人物的肖像，但硬币由美国铸币局铸造，不受此条款约束。
美国国会2020年通过一项法案，允许财政部长铸造1美元硬币以纪念建国250周年，但该法案禁止使用在世人物的肖像作为设计元素。
在周二播出的福克斯新闻采访中，贝森特指出，在纪念美国建国150周年时，时任总统卡尔文·柯立芝曾被印在硬币上。
“因此我们可以将在世人物的形象印在硬币上，”贝森特说道。
美国财政部在一份声明中表示，该硬币目前正在费城铸币厂生产。

July 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. Mint will begin producing $1 coins with President Donald Trump’s face on the front as part of its commemoration of the nation’s 250th anniversary, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday.
The design, which also features the words “Liberty,” “In God We Trust” and “1776-2026” on the front and an image of the bald eagle from the presidential seal on the back was a revision from a draft made public in October. The rear face of that design showed Trump holding a raised clenched fist framed with the words “fight, fight, fight,” a reference to the 2024 assassination attempt against him.

Trump said he was “honored” by the coin.
“They gave me a coin,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business. “That’s very unusual from what I understand.”
Critics have raised questions about the design’s legality. An 1866 U.S. law mandates that no living person’s portrait can be used on U.S. currency, but that refers to paper money produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Coins are minted by the U.S. Mint.
Congress in 2020 passed a law allowing the Treasury Secretary to mint $1 coins to mark the 250th anniversary, but that law forbade designs portraying a living person.
In an interview with Fox News that aired Tuesday, Bessent noted that in commemoration of the 150th U.S. anniversary, then-President Calvin Coolidge was placed on a coin.
“So we can put living people’s images on a coin,” Bessent said.
The coin is in production and is being minted in Philadelphia, the Treasury Department said in a statement.
