罕見的 200 澳元硬幣可以讓澳洲人節省 1000 多澳元

硬幣和紙幣在澳洲被視為法定貨幣，但如果它們不尋常，它們的價值可能會與它們指定的美元價值有所不同。

An Australian shopper has managed to knock more than $1,000 off their bill at a Melbourne jewellery store - all thanks to a rare $200 coin.

一名澳洲購物者在墨爾本一家珠寶店成功節省了 1,000 多澳元的賬單 - 這一切都歸功於一枚罕見的 200 澳元硬幣。

Coins and banknotes are considered legal tender in Australia, but their worth can vary from the dollar value they are assigned if they are out of the ordinary.

硬幣和紙幣在澳洲被視為法定貨幣，但如果它們不尋常，它們的價值可能會與它們指定的美元價值有所不同。

That's what happened when a shopper walked into a Micheli Jewellery store and presented staff with a $200 gold coin from 1983.

當一位購物者走進 Micheli 珠寶店並向店員贈送一枚 1983 年價值 200 美元的金幣時，就發生了這樣的事情。

But shop owner Darren Harris explained to Yahoo Finance why the customer didn't just get a $200 cash bonus.

但店主 Darren Harris 向雅虎財經解釋了為什麼顧客不僅僅獲得了 200 美元的現金獎勵。

"If you took that coin into a bank, they would give you $200 because it's legal tender, that's the value of the coin to the bank," he said.

「如果你把這枚硬幣存入銀行，他們會給你 200 美元，因為它是法定貨幣，這就是硬幣對銀行的價值，」他說。

"But we pay the value of the coin ... and those coins have probably gone up at least 30 per cent in the last five to six months because gold's gone up so much."

「但我們支付的是硬幣的價值……而這些硬幣在過去五到六個月內可能上漲了至少 30%，因為黃金上漲了這麼多。”

Micheli Jewellery gave the customer $1,100 off their purchase in exchange for the coin.

Micheli Jewellery 為顧客提供 1,100 美元的折扣，以換取這枚硬幣。

You've probably not heard of a $200 coin. That's because they are quite rare.

您可能沒有聽說過 200 美元的硬幣。那是因為它們非常罕見。

There were only 88,000 of these special coins produced by the Royal Australian Mint in 1983.

1983年，澳洲皇家造幣廠僅生產了88,000枚這種特殊硬幣。

This might seem like a lot, but is significantly less than the 186 million $1 coins made in 1984.

這看起來似乎很多，但比 1984 年鑄造的 1.86 億美元 1 美元硬幣要少得多。

A $100 coin released this year, also featuring a Koala, has been valued at over $5,000. It weighs an ounce, or just over 28 grams.

今年發行的一枚 100 美元硬幣，上面還印有無尾熊，其價值超過 5,000 美元。它重 1 盎司，即 28 克多一點。

The 1983 version weighs 10 grams, but the exchange could be seriously beneficial if Harris holds onto the $200 coin.

1983 年的版本重 10 克，但如果哈里斯持有這枚 200 美元的硬幣，這次交換可能會非常有利。

At the start of the year, the price of gold per troy ounce (which is the metric used in weighing precious metals and is equivalent to 31.1 grams) was $3,038. It's now worth $3,734.

年初，每金衡盎司（用於稱量貴金屬的公制，相當於 31.1 克）的黃金價格為 3,038 美元。現在價值 3,734 美元。

'Hold onto that coin'

“抓住那枚硬幣”

Not only could the $200 coin be worth a lot more down the track, but it stands above regular gold, according to Harris.

哈里斯表示，200 美元的硬幣不僅未來的價值可能更高，而且其價值將高於普通黃金。

"If you go and get a piece of [gold] bullion, it doesn't really look attractive," he told Yahoo Finance.

「如果你去拿一塊[金]條，它看起來並不真正有吸引力，」他告訴雅虎財經。

"If you've got a coin, it's interesting."

“如果你有一枚硬幣，那就很有趣了。”

The coin that was brought into them came in a tiny plastic blue wallet that kept the metal in good condition.

帶進去的硬幣裝在一個藍色的小塑膠錢包裡，可以讓金屬保持良好狀態。

Aussies who saw the jeweller's video said the store had come across a great piece of history.

看過該珠寶商影片的澳洲人表示，這家商店見證了一段偉大的歷史。

"This will only continue to increase in value so I would hold onto it. My dad bought a few when they were released in the '80s. It was a very limited run. A collector will happily pay you for it," wrote one person.

「這只會繼續增值，所以我會保留它。我父親在 80 年代發行時買了一些。這是一個非常有限的版本。收藏家會很樂意付錢給你，」一位人士寫道。

"I hope you’re not planning on banking it, what a win! Just hope it wasn't stolen," said another.

另一位網友表示：“我希望你不打算把它存入銀行，這真是一場勝利！只是希望它沒有被偷。”

In another win, Harris said that because the coin was minted in 1983, it's exempt from capital gains tax (CGT), which was introduced in 1985.

哈里斯在另一場勝利中表示，由於這枚硬幣是 1983 年鑄造的，因此可以免除 1985 年引入的資本利得稅 (CGT)。

He claimed many collectors try to find items before that 1985 CGT start date so they can enjoy a potentially appreciating and tax-free asset.

他聲稱，許多收藏家試圖在 1985 年資本利得稅開始日期之前尋找藏品，這樣他們就可以享受潛在升值且免稅的資產。
