川普和梅蘭妮亞現在正在出售價值可疑的紀念幣

With the presidential election less than 45 days away and polls showing an extremely tight race, you might think that both candidates would be laser-focused on laying out their vision for America and turning out voters.

距離總統選舉還有不到 45 天的時間，民調顯示競爭極其激烈，您可能會認為兩位候選人都會全神貫注於闡述他們對美國的願景並爭取選民。

But instead, Donald Trump took time out of his schedule to hawk a silver Trump commemorative coin.

但相反，唐納德·川普卻抽空兜售一枚川普銀紀念幣。

Trump brought late-night TV infomercial vibes to his social-media channels over the weekend with a video advertising his latest venture.

週末，川普在他的社交媒體頻道上發布了一段宣傳他最新企業的視頻，給他的社交媒體頻道帶來了深夜電視廣告的氛圍。

“Hello everyone! I have something incredible to share today,” he began. “We are announcing the launch of Trump coins, a true symbol of American greatness.”

“大家好！今天我有一些令人難以置信的事情要分享，」他開始說道。 “我們宣布推出川普硬幣，這是美國偉大的真正像徵。”

Later, he ad-libbed, “I’ve seen a lot of coins out there using my very beautiful face — I'm a very beautiful guy. I’m only kidding! But they are not the official coin.”

後來，他即興說道：「我見過很多硬幣都是用我非常漂亮的臉來製作的——我是一個非常漂亮的人。我只是開玩笑！但它們不是官方硬幣。

Hello everyone! I have something incredible to share today, as we are introducing the launch of our Official Trump Coins! The ONLY OFFICIAL coin designed by me—and proudly minted here in the U.S.A. The President Donald J. Trump First Edition Silver Medallion will be available… pic.twitter.com/9SP1PaLOTh

大家好！今天我有一些令人難以置信的事情要分享，因為我們正在推出我們的官方川普硬幣！由我設計並在美國自豪鑄造的唯一官方硬幣唐納德·J·特朗普總統第一版銀章即將上市…… pic.twitter.com/9SP1PaLOTh

As Trump notes, there are already plenty of unofficial Trump commemorative coins out there. But this is the only one that’s endorsed by Trump and, he claims, “designed by me and minted right here in the USA.”

正如川普指出的那樣，市面上已經有很多非官方的川普紀念幣。但這是唯一獲得川普認可的一枚，他聲稱，“由我設計，在美國鑄造。”

Trump has, obviously, sold lots of weird things over the years, from steaks to gold high-top sneakers. But this move seems particularly sad since, as a former president, Trump’s face could theoretically end up on actual U.S. money someday (though that does seem unlikely).

顯然，川普多年來賣了很多奇怪的東西，從牛排到金色高筒運動鞋。但這一舉動似乎特別令人悲傷，因為作為一名前總統，理論上川普的臉有一天可能會出現在美國的實際貨幣上（儘管這似乎不太可能）。

RealTrumpCoins.com is careful to note that the coins are, in fact, not “real.” Under “disclosures,” it says, “This product is not legal tender and has no face value.”

RealTrumpCoins.com 謹慎地指出，這些硬幣實際上並不是「真的」。在“披露”項下，它寫道：“該產品不是法定貨幣，沒有面值。”

The coin may have even less value than it initially seems. In the video, Trump describes his new product as a “beautiful limited edition coin.” But the website suggests these may not actually be rare collectors’ items, since “these medallions are struck to demand, with no mintage limits.”

這枚硬幣的價值可能比最初看起來的還要低。在影片中，川普將他的新產品描述為「漂亮的限量版硬幣」。但該網站表示，這些徽章實際上可能並不是稀有的收藏品，因為“這些獎章是按需鑄造的，沒有發行量限制。”

And there’s some disappointing information for anyone who thinks they are, at the very least, getting a valuable hunk of precious metal. The coin “contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver” and retails for $100. Forbes notes that this is “much higher than the$31.50 per ounce market value of silver.”

對於那些認為自己至少獲得了一塊有價值的貴金屬的人來說，有一些令人失望的資訊。該硬幣“含有 1 金衡盎司 0.999 純銀”，零售價為 100 美元。 《富比士》指出，這「遠高於每盎司 31.50 美元的白銀市場價值」。

The item comes “in a custom felt bag with a Certificate of Authenticity,” but in the photo, this looks a lot like the kind of black drawstring pouch that retails for as low as 40 cents on Amazon.

該商品“裝在一個帶有真品證書的定制毛氈袋中”，但在照片中，它看起來很像那種在亞馬遜上零售價低至 40 美分的黑色抽繩袋。

Not to be outdone, Melania Trump announced on Monday that she too is selling a metal coin of dubious value. Hers is a pendant fashioned into “a limited edition, gold vermeil necklace celebrating Lady Liberty with the option of a digital collectible.” The name and capitalization might leave you with the impression that the necklace features the Statue of Liberty, but it appears to show a random lady below the word “LIBERTY.”

梅蘭妮亞·川普也不甘示弱，週一宣布她也正在出售一枚價值可疑的金屬硬幣。她的吊墜被製成「限量版鍍金項鍊，慶祝自由女神，並可選擇數位收藏品」。名稱和大小寫可能會給您留下這樣的印象：項鍊上有自由女神像，但在“LIBERTY”一詞下方似乎顯示了一位隨機的女士。

According to MelaniaTrump.com, the medallion is 1.5 inches in diameter, it is made of gold-plated sterling silver, and it comes on a 26-inch, 4-mm. gold-plated sterling chain.

據 MelaniaTrump.com 稱，該獎章直徑為 1.5 英寸，由鍍金純銀製成，尺寸為 26 英寸、4 毫米。鍍金純銀鍊。

Melania’s “Vote Freedom” necklace costs a whopping $600. MelaniaTrump.com only accepts actual currency, so don’t try to pay with six shiny silver Trump coins or the equivalent in magic beans.

梅蘭妮亞的「投票自由」項鍊售價高達 600 美元。 MelaniaTrump.com 僅接受實際貨幣，因此請勿嘗試使用六枚閃亮的川普銀幣或等值的魔豆進行支付。
