In one of their recent videos, the coin collector revealed that some two pence coins could be worth up to £1,000.

在他們最近的一個影片中，這位硬幣收藏家透露，大約兩便士硬幣的價值可能高達 1,000 英鎊。

The video states: "This is a 2p coin and after the design changed from 'new pence' to 'two pence' in 1982, a mistake was made during production of a small number of 1983 coins.

影片中寫道：「這是一枚2便士硬幣，1982年設計從『新便士』改為『兩便士』後，在生產少量1983年硬幣時出現了錯誤。

"These coins were actually struck with the old inscription 'new pence'."

“這些硬幣實際上刻有古老的銘文‘新便士’。”

It's not known how many of these error coins were struck and the coin collector states that affected coins were issued as part of Royal Mint souvenir sets that also did not enter general circulation.

目前尚不清楚有多少枚錯誤硬幣被鑄造，硬幣收藏家表示，受影響的硬幣是作為皇家造幣廠紀念品套裝的一部分發行的，但也沒有進入一般流通。

The coin collector adds: "If these sets were broken open and spent then you could be in with the chance of finding one in your change."

這位硬幣收藏家補充道：“如果這些硬幣被拆開並花掉，那麼您就有機會在零錢中找到一枚。”

If you're lucky enough to find a 1983 new pence 2p in your change then it could be worth around £1,000.

如果你夠幸運，在零錢中找到了 1983 年新版 2 便士，那麼它的價值可能約為 1,000 英鎊。

On the official Royal Mint website, under Coinage FAQs, one of the questions asked is "I have a 2p piece with the inscription 'NEW PENCE' on it. Does this make the coin rare or valuable?"

在皇家造幣廠官方網站上的「硬幣常見問題解答」下，提出的問題之一是「我有一枚2 便士，上面刻有『新便士』字樣。這是否會使硬幣變得稀有或有價值？

The response from the Royal Mint reads: "All 2p coins struck between 1971 and 1981 included the words 'NEW PENCE' as part of their reverse.

英國皇家造幣廠的回應是：「1971 年至 1981 年間鑄造的所有 2 便士硬幣的背面都印有『NEW PENCE』字樣。

"In 1982 and in subsequent years the words 'NEW PENCE' were replaced with the word 'TWO PENCE'. However, in 1983 a small number of 2p coins were mistakenly struck with the wording 'NEW PENCE' on the reverse.

「1982 年及隨後的幾年中，『新便士』一詞被『兩便士』一詞所取代。然而，1983 年，少數 2 便士硬幣的背面被錯誤地印上了『新便士』字樣。

"These coins were produced to brilliant uncirculated quality - a standard higher than ordinary circulating coins - and were included in special sets intended for collectors.

「這些硬幣的生產品質非常出色，未流通的品質高於普通流通硬幣的標準，並且包含在專為收藏家準備的特殊套裝中。

"Since there are relatively few coins with the date 1983 and the inscription 'NEW PENCE' in circulation, they may well have a value higher than face value to a collector. The Royal Mint is, however, unable to comment on the value of any individual coin and we would recommend that you should consult a coin dealer."

「由於流通中印有1983 年日期和刻有『新便士』字樣的硬幣相對較少，因此對於收藏家來說，它們的價值很可能高於面值。然而，皇家造幣廠無法對任何硬幣的價值發表評論。
