迪士尼停发地球上最快乐货币

屈联西

　　Disney is no longer minting money.

　　迪士尼不再发售货币。

　　At least one kind -- the company recently announced that it will no longer print and sell its beloved currency, Disney Dollars.

　　至少其中一种——公司最近宣布，它将不再印制和出售它所钟爱的迪士尼美元货币。

　　The bills, which feature iconic Disney (DIS) characters and are signed by treasurer Scrooge McDuck, are worth real U.S. dollars. They’re like gift certificates and can still be used at Disney theme parks, resorts, hotels, restaurants and stores. But for many Disney die-hards, they’re also collectibles

　　这些以DIS迪士尼字符为特征，由当家人史高治·麦克老鸭签名的货币由真正的美元同值。他们就像礼券一样，仍可在迪士尼主题公园，度假村，酒店，餐厅和商店被使用。但对很多迪士尼铁粉来说，他们也是收藏品。

　　Typically Mickey Mouse was on the $1, Goofy was on the $5 and Minnie Mouse was on the $10.

　　尤其是1美元的米老鼠，5美元的高飞和10美元的米妮老鼠。

　　The bills also featured princesses like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, villains like Cruella de Vil and Captain Hook; and characters like Dumbo, Simba, the 101 Dalmations and even Lilo from "Lilo and Stitch."

　　这些纸币还以公主为特色，比如灰姑娘和睡美人，像克鲁拉德维尔德和铁钩船长这样的恶棍，诸如小飞象，辛巴，101斑点狗和《星际宝贝》中的人物。

　　Disney stopped selling the bills on May 14, but many are listed on eBay (EBAY).

　　5月14日，迪士尼停止售卖货币，但是很多在eBay 上仍有。

　　A?special edition $50 bill?from 2005 that marked Disneyland’s 50th anniversary just sold for $495 on Wednesday, which works out to a gain of 890%. A $1 Mickey Mouse bill printed in 2009 recently sold for $12.95 (appreciating 1,195%), and a $1 Pirates of the Caribbean billnetted $14 (up 1,300%).

　　周三，标志迪士尼50周年纪念的2005特别版50美金纸币，只售495美金，价值上浮890%。2009年印制的1美元米老鼠货币售价12.95美元（升值1195%），1美元的加勒比海盗售价14美金（升值1300%）。

　　The bills were put into circulation in 1987 and printed in limited quantities. Disney Dollars also had security features similar to those used on actual currency, and each even had a unique serial number.

　　这些货币1987年投入流通，限量印制。迪士尼美元和现实货币拥有相似的防伪标识，甚至每张货币都有一个独特的序列号。

　　The bills will no longer be available at any of the Disney parks worldwide.

　　这些货币将不再被世界任何一个迪士尼公园使用。
