美国财政部一名官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，财政部正考虑发行印有特朗普总统形象的250美元纸币，但此类纸币的发行需要修改联邦法律。
财政部表示，这一纸币计划由《华盛顿邮报》于周四首次报道，源于南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员乔·威尔逊去年提出的立法提案。
财政部长斯科特·贝森特周四在白宫新闻发布会上谈及了250美元纸币事宜。
他说：“就目前的美国货币而言，在世人士不得出现在美国货币上，且货币上必须印有‘我们信仰上帝’字样。目前众议院和参议院都有一项拟议法案，旨在修改第一项要求，让在世人士唐纳德·J·特朗普能够出现在250美元纸币上。”
“我们已经提前做好准备，一旦该法案获得通过，就可以推进相关工作。但我们会严格遵守法律。”贝森特补充道。

财政部一名官员在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的电子邮件中表示，美国铸币局（BEP）“正在针对该立法提案开展适当的规划和尽职调查”。
该官员补充道：“如果这项立法 mandate 签署成为法律，铸币局将主动行动，印制250美元纪念钞，以恰当地纪念我们伟大国家的250周年诞辰。”
联邦法律规定，“只有已故人士的肖像方可出现在美国货币和证券上”。威尔逊提出的法案将修订《联邦储备法》，要求财政部长印制“印有唐纳德·J·特朗普肖像”的250美元纸币。
2025年2月，《唐纳德·J·特朗普250美元纸币法案》提交国会后，当日即被移交至众议院金融服务委员会。此后该法案一直停滞不前，未采取任何进一步行动。
过去一年里，特朗普总统一直在推动将自己的名字或形象印在更多货币上。财政部于今年3月宣布，未来的货币将印有特朗普的签名。去年10月，财政部透露，正着手设计一款印有总统肖像的1美元硬币，以纪念今年7月4日美国独立250周年。
这款纸币会是什么样子？
当被问及纸币设计时，财政部官员建议哥伦比亚广播公司新闻参考威尔逊的立法提案。威尔逊网站上的一份新闻稿展示了一个AI设计效果图，画面左侧是特朗普的彩色肖像，整体为250美元纸币样式。

《华盛顿邮报》的报道中还出现了另一版本的设计图，该报指出，这张图片是白宫官员提供给美国铸币局工作人员的模拟效果图。图片显示，纸币以绿色油墨印制，与当前纸币风格一致，画面中央是特朗普的肖像。
据美国铸币局介绍，新货币的设计可能需要数年时间。该局表示，通常会在货币流通前6至8个月向公众公布设计方案，以打击造假者。
财政部官员指出，鉴于这一设计流程，“目前流传的任何‘设计’或‘模拟图’都不是真实的”。
250美元纸币将是为纪念美国建国250周年而推出的一系列货币中的最新一款。2025年12月，财政部公布了镍币、10美分硬币、25美分硬币和50美分硬币的全新设计方案，这些硬币将于2026年铸造发行。
美国铸币局在其网站上表示：“这些具有历史意义的硬币设计展现了美国走向‘更完善联邦’的历程，歌颂了美国自由等标志性理想。”
Treasury Department is weighing a $250 bill with Trump’s image

The Treasury Department is considering issuing a $250 bill featuring President Trump, though any such banknote would require a change in federal law, an agency official told CBS News.
The bill’s development, first reported by the Washington Post on Thursday, comes in response to legislation proposed last year by Rep. Joe Wilson, a Republican from South Carolina, the department said.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent addressed the $250 bill at a White House press briefing on Thursday.
“For U.S. currency at present, no living person can be on U.S. currency, and the currency must say ‘In God We Trust’,” he said. “So right now, there is proposed legislation that is in front of the House, in front of the Senate, to change the first requirement so that a living person, Donald J. Trump, could be on the $250 bill.”
“So we have prepared in advance that if the legislation is passed. But we will stick to the law,” Bessent added.

A Treasury Department official told CBS News in an email that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) is “conducting appropriate planning and due diligence in response to the proposed legislation.
The official added, “Should this legislative mandate be signed into law, the BEP is moving proactively to produce a $250 commemorative note which will appropriately recognize the 250th Anniversary of our great nation.”
Federal law stipulates that “only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities.” Wilson’s bill would amend the Federal Reserve Act by requiring the Treasury secretary to print $250 bills that “feature a portrait of Donald J. Trump.”
After the “Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act” was introduced in Congress in February 2025, it was referred to the House Committee on Financial Services that same day. It has since stalled out, with no actions since then.
Over the past year, the president has sought to imprint more forms of currency with his name or image, with the Treasury announcing in March that future currency would bear Mr. Trump’s signature. In October, the department said it was working on a $1 coin featuring the president’s image to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence this July 4.
What would the bill look like?
Asked about the bill’s design, the Treasury Department official referred CBS News to Rep. Wilson’s legislation. A press release on the Wilson’s website shows an AI design mock-up that features a color portrait of Mr. Trump on the left-hand side of a $250 note.

Another version appeared in the Washington Post article, with the publication noting the image was a mockup provided by White House officials to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing staff. The image depicts a bill printed in shades of green ink, similar to current banknotes, with a center image of Mr. Trump.
New currency designs can take years to develop, according to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Designs typically are only released to the public six to eight months before the currency enters circulation to hamper counterfeiters, the bureau says.
Given that design process, the Treasury Department official said that “any ‘designs’ or ‘mockups’ circulating are not real.”
The $250 bill would be the latest addition to a lineup of currency created to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary. In December 2025, the Treasury Department unveiled a series of new designs for the nickel, dime, quarter and half dollar that will appear on coins minted in 2026.
“The designs on these historic coins depict the story of America’s journey toward a ‘more perfect union,’ and celebrate America’s defining ideals of liberty,” the U.S. Mint said on its website.
