Der American Platinum Eagle ist eine offizielle US-amerikanische Platinmünze in der Währung US-Dollar. Die Münze zählt zu den Anlagemünzen.

Die ersten Platinum Eagles wurden 1997 von der United States Mint herausgegeben. Es gibt sie in Feingewichten von 1⁄10, ¼, ½ und 1 Feinunze. Die U.S. Mint garantiert, dass die Münzen die angegebene Menge (in Unzen) an „.9995 Feinplatin“ enthalten.

Für Münzsammler werden eigens Münzen in der Qualität „Polierte Platte“ herausgegeben. Die Besonderheit dieser Proof American Platinum Eagles ist, dass sie die einzigen Anlagemünzen der USA sind, die jährlich eine anders gestaltete Rückseite haben.

Anmerkung: Bis auf die aufgeprägte Gewichtsangabe und den jeweiligen Nennwert ist das Design der 1/10-, 1/4-, 1/2- und 1-Unzen-Platinum Eagles identisch. Obwohl der Marktwert der Platinum Eagles, wie bei Anlagemünzen üblich, schon aufgrund des reinen Metallwerts deutlich über dem Nennwert liegt, sind diese Münzen theoretisch ein offizielles Zahlungsmittel.

Rückseiten der Polierte-Platte-Ausgaben

Seit 1998 tragen die Sammlerausgaben in der Qualität Polierte Platte jährlich eine anders gestaltete Rückseite. Motiv ist meist ein Weißkopfseeadler, der vor dem Hintergrund unterschiedlicher Regionen der Vereinigten Staaten oder in Zusammenhang mit einem anderen USA-spezifischen Thema abgebildet wird.
