現在，擁有 201,800 名粉絲的 TikTok 用戶@CoinCollectingWizard 透露了永遠不應該清理舊硬幣的原因 - 這一切都與稀有因素有關。

In one viral video, someone is seen cleaning a 2p coin with "shocking" results.

在一段廣為流傳的影片中，有人清洗了一枚 2 便士的硬幣，結果「令人震驚」。

He said: "You should never clean your coins and here is why... A 2p coin is usually in copper colour but instead this particular coin was accidentally minted on the same base as a 10p coin.

他說：「你永遠不應該清潔你的硬幣，這就是為什麼…2便士硬幣通常是銅色的，但這種特殊的硬幣是意外鑄造在與10便士硬幣相同的底座上的。

"The Royal Mint manufactures between 3-4million coins a day, so it's understandable that sometimes mistakes can happen.

「皇家造幣廠每天生產 300 至 400 萬枚硬幣，因此有時會出現錯誤是可以理解的。

"The penny is known as a mule or an error coin making them 'super rare' which makes it 'super valuable' to collectors as they're nearly one-of-a-kind.

「這種便士被稱為騾幣或錯誤幣，這使得它們『超級稀有’，這使得它對收藏家來說是『超級有價值’，因為它們幾乎是獨一無二的。

"But if you think that is special, check out the next coin.

「但如果你認為這很特別，請看看下一枚硬幣。

"The 1983 New Pence Two Pence is considered rare due to a specific transition in the design.

「由於設計上的特定轉變，1983 年新便士兩便士被認為是罕見的。

"In 1983, the Royal Mint began the process of changing the inscription on the coin, from New Pence to Two Pence. If you find this rare coin, you are looking at £1,000+."

“1983 年，皇家造幣廠開始更改硬幣上的銘文，從新便士改為兩便士。如果您找到這枚稀有硬幣，您的價格將超過 1,000 英鎊。”

The useful information was shared in a video recently, and it garnered nearly 200,000 views, 200 likes and numerous comments.

這些有用的信息最近透過影片分享，獲得了近20萬次觀看、200個讚和大量評論。
