有王健民圖像的美鈔，雖然台灣炒得火熱，報紙或是網路上都說是真美鈔，可以使用．
不過，這應該大概絕對是錯的．
美國薄荷(mint)...啊，我是說鑄幣廠(mint)，常常會代工幫忙製作一些紀念幣，我想美國雕版和印刷管理局 / 鑄印局(負責設計和印刷美鈔的政府機關)應該也是，雖然我找不到資料證明這點．
所以這些紙鈔可能是請他們幫忙代工，這沒問題．
可是說這個是真的可以使用購物的美鈔，嗯，至少我相信你沒辦法用它在美國街上買熱狗．

我的理由很簡單，鈔票上面的頭像是防偽設計的一環，要由專業畫家長久慢慢鑄畫，怎麼可能用幾張照片就取代？
況且不管Wang在華人圈多有名氣，他只是個Yankees的新手菜鳥，連冠軍都沒拿到過．先不說棒球名人堂裡面多少先賢，光現在Yankees裡面的一堆明星，他們都沒自己的紀念鈔了，如果這真的可行，哪會輪到小王先出他的呢？

這些都只算是推理，接下來，看看事實．

美國財政部(Department of Treasury)網站上的FAQ裡面，關於貨幣(Currency)這一段有說到：
Question: Can the Treasury Department produce a special series of currency to honor a distinguished person or special event? This is done frequently with our coins.
Answer: Officials in the Treasury Department and our Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) appreciate the spirit of helpfulness of persons who suggest that we commemorate noteworthy persons or events on United States currency notes.
Adopting such a suggestion at this time is unlikely because carrying out a proposal for a special currency issue requires spending several hundred thousand dollars for the necessary additional printing and processing equipment. It would also require increased costs for examining and handling operations and would require changing both the obverse and reverse sides of the currency, along with preparing new printing plates.
如果這點還不夠說服你，那麼，另外一段問答絕對可以讓你了解：
Question: Why were certain individuals chosen to be pictured on our paper currency?
Answer: As with our nation's coinage, the Secretary of the Treasury usually selects the designs shown on United States currency. Unless specified by an Act of Congress, the Secretary generally has the final approval. This is done with the advice of Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) officials. In addition, the Commission on Fine Arts reviews all of the designs.
The law prohibits portraits of living persons from appearing on Government Securities. Therefore, the portraits on our currency notes are of deceased persons whose places in history the American people know well.
The basic face and back designs of all denominations of our paper currency in circulation today were selected in 1928, although they were modified to improve security against counterfeiting starting in 1996. A committee appointed to study such matters made those choices. The only exception is the reverse design of the one-dollar bill. Unfortunately, however, our records do not suggest why certain Presidents and statesmen were chosen for specific denominations.
看到重點了嗎？就算是不管說更改貨幣的設計必須經過重重關卡這一點吧，最重要的是：美國合法貨幣上面的頭像，不能是活著的人的．
這套紀念鈔票值不值得買，那真的是看每個人自己的主觀價值判斷．
會買這鈔票的人，我相信也不會真的拿去開．
可是要是賣這紀念鈔的人用美國財政部通過的合法貨幣，可以當真正的美鈔使用這點來促銷，那就有點不實廣告的誤導了．
