收藏家的物品可能会被意外地藏在存钱罐、某人的口袋里，甚至藏在沙发后面

Brits are being urged to check their change after a 50p coin sold for over 60 times its original value on eBay.

一枚 50 便士的硬币在 eBay 上以超过原价 60 倍的价格出售后，英国人被敦促检查找零。

The collector’s item could be accidentally stowed away in a piggy bank, someone’s pocket or even down the back of the sofa.

收藏家的物品可能会不小心被藏在存钱罐、某人的口袋里，甚至沙发后面。

The coin can be spent as it is still legal tender, but only a few of them may have ever entered circulation.

这种硬币可以使用，因为它仍然是法定货币，但可能只有少数硬币曾经进入流通。

If you are fortunate enough to find this coin, which was issued in 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landings, then you could be in for a healthy sum of around £30.

如果您有幸找到这枚 2019 年为庆祝登月 50 周年而发行的硬币，那么您可能会赚到大约 30 英镑。

That is after one coin from a seller in Malvern, Worcestershire, received £29.99, according to Worcester News.

据伍斯特新闻报道，伍斯特郡马尔文的一位卖家售出一枚硬币，售价为 29.99 英镑。

This year, the Snowman is being depicted on a new Royal Mint 50p coin – with a gold version hidden in one of its advent calendars for someone to discover on Christmas Eve.

今年，皇家造币厂新推出的 50 便士硬币上描绘了雪人的形象，金色版本则藏在其降临节日历中，供人们在平安夜发现。

The Mint said that to further celebrate the launch of The Snowman 2024 collectable 50p, it has hidden a solid gold coin behind door 24 in one limited-edition The Snowman advent calendar, offering someone the chance of “striking gold”.

造币厂表示，为了进一步庆祝 2024 年《雪人》收藏版 50 便士的推出，他们在限量版《雪人》降临节日历的 24 号门后面隐藏了一枚纯金币，为人们提供了“撞金”的机会。

The brand new Snowman 50p coin is available in a range of precious metal finishes, including colour editions, on the Royal Mint’s website, with prices starting at £12. It will not be entering general circulation, however.

全新雪人 50 便士硬币有多种贵金属饰面可供选择，包括彩色版本，可在皇家造币厂网站上购买，起价为 12 英镑。然而，它不会进入一般流通。

The advent calendars will be priced at £30, with a total of 3,000 available – and only one will have a gold proof coin of The Snowman hidden inside.

降临节日历的售价为 30 英镑，总共 3,000 份，其中只有一份会藏有一枚雪人精制金币。

Printing errors and other strange occurrences can result in odd coins that become more and more valuable over time.

印刷错误和其他奇怪的现象可能会导致奇怪的硬币随着时间的推移变得越来越有价值。

In 2014, a £2 coin featuring Lord Kitchener was issued with a printing error. There are believed to be around 800 versions of the coin that have the error on.

2014年，一枚印有基奇纳勋爵头像的2英镑硬币出现印刷错误。据信，大约有 800 个版本的硬币上有这个错误。

The image of Lord Kitchener, the secretary of state for war at the outset of World War One, is still very famous in the UK. Kitchener is known as the face of the recruiting posters showing his face with the words “your country needs you”

第一次世界大战爆发时担任战争大臣的基奇纳勋爵的形象在英国仍然非常有名。基奇纳被称为招募海报的代言人，脸上写着“你的国家需要你”

TikTok user Coin Collector UK said: "If you find this £2 coin check it for an extremely rare error. The coin must lack the inscription "two pounds" on the Queen's side, otherwise it's just a regular £2 coin."

TikTok 用户 Coin Collector UK 表示：“如果你发现这枚 2 英镑的硬币，请检查一下是否存在极其罕见的错误。这枚硬币必须缺少女王侧面的‘两英镑’字样，否则它只是一枚普通的 2 英镑硬币。”
