据路透社27日报道，美国财政部26日表示，从2026年夏天开始，美元纸币将印有美国总统特朗普的签名，这将是美国历史上首次有在任总统的签名出现在货币上。这些重新设计的纸币旨在纪念美国建国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国财政部长贝森特签名的100美元纸币将于6月印制，随后数月将陆续印制其他面额纸币。新版纸币可能需要数周时间才能通过银行系统流通。
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.
报道指出，此次签名变更，是特朗普政府及其盟友将总统姓名冠于建筑、机构、政府项目、军舰及硬币上的最新举措。一个由特朗普任命成员组成的联邦艺术委员会上周批准了印有特朗普肖像的纪念金币的设计方案。
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.
贝森特在一份声明中表示，鉴于特朗普第二任期内“美国经济增长强劲且金融体系稳定”，此举作为纪念美国建国250周年的安排“十分合适”。
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，由于法律禁止在美国硬币上印制在世人物的肖像，推出流通版“1美元特朗普硬币”的计划曾受阻。
An effort for a circulating $1 Trump coin was set back by laws prohibiting the depiction of living individuals on US coins.
财政部官员还表示，除特朗普的签名将取代国库长的签名外，纸币的整体设计不会改变。目前尚无法立即看到印有特朗普签名的100美元纸币样稿。
