特朗普和梅拉尼娅现在正在出售价值可疑的纪念币

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.

距离总统选举还有不到 45 天的时间，民意调查显示竞争极其激烈，您可能会认为两位候选人都会全神贯注于阐述他们对美国的愿景并争取选民。

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

但相反，唐纳德·特朗普却抽出时间兜售一枚特朗普银纪念币。

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

周末，特朗普在他的社交媒体频道上发布了一段宣传他最新企业的视频，给他的社交媒体频道带来了深夜电视广告的氛围。

“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！今天我有一些令人难以置信的事情要分享，”他开始说道。 “我们宣布推出特朗普硬币，这是美国伟大的真正象征。”

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.”

后来，他即兴说道：“我见过很多硬币都是用我非常漂亮的脸来制作的——我是一个非常漂亮的人。我只是开玩笑！但它们不是官方硬币。”

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

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.”

正如特朗普指出的那样，市面上已经有很多非官方的特朗普纪念币。但这是唯一得到特朗普认可的一枚，他声称，“由我设计，在美国铸造。”

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).

显然，特朗普多年来卖了很多奇怪的东西，从牛排到金色高帮运动鞋。但这一举动似乎特别令人悲伤，因为作为一名前总统，理论上特朗普的脸有一天可能会出现在美国的实际货币上（尽管这似乎不太可能）。

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 谨慎地指出，这些硬币实际上并不是“真实的”。在“披露”项下，它写道：“该产品不是法定货币，没有面值。”

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.”

这枚硬币的价值可能比最初看起来的还要低。在视频中，特朗普将他的新产品描述为“漂亮的限量版硬币”。但该网站表示，这些徽章实际上可能并不是稀有的收藏品，因为“这些奖章是按需铸造的，没有发行量限制。”

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.”

对于那些认为自己至少获得了一块有价值的贵金属的人来说，有一些令人失望的信息。该硬币“含有 1 金衡盎司 0.999 纯银”，零售价为 100 美元。 《福布斯》指出，这“远高于每盎司 31.50 美元的白银市场价值”。

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.

该商品“装在一个带有真品证书的定制毛毡袋中”，但在照片中，它看起来很像那种在亚马逊上零售价低至 40 美分的黑色抽绳袋。

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.”

梅拉尼娅·特朗普也不甘示弱，周一宣布她也正在出售一枚价值可疑的金属硬币。她的吊坠被制成“限量版镀金项链，庆祝自由女神，并可选择数字收藏品”。名称和大小写可能会给您留下这样的印象：项链上有自由女神像，但在“LIBERTY”一词下方似乎显示了一位随机的女士。

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.

据 MelaniaTrump.com 称，该奖章直径为 1.5 英寸，由镀金纯银制成，尺寸为 26 英寸、4 毫米。镀金纯银链。

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.

梅拉尼娅的“投票自由”项链售价高达 600 美元。 MelaniaTrump.com 只接受实际货币，因此请勿尝试使用六枚闪亮的特朗普银币或等值的魔豆进行支付。
