珀斯铸币厂的宝石海龟硬币绝对是美丽的，但它会花费你 269,000 美元

珀斯造币厂在其杰作系列中又增添了一枚硬币，它绝对是美丽的。其中仅制作了 8 件，售价高达 269,000 美元

The Perth Mint has released a new coin as part of its Masterpieces Jewelled Series, and it features a turtle adorned with 113 rare Argyle Pink Diamonds. Only eight of these coins have been made, and they're available for purchase at a hefty price of $269,000.

珀斯造币厂发行了一枚新硬币，作为其杰作珠宝系列的一部分，硬币上有一只乌龟，上面装饰着 113 颗稀有的阿盖尔粉红钻石。这些硬币仅生产了 8 枚，售价高达 269,000 美元。

Despite its high purchasing price, the coin's legal tender value is less than a tenth of that, at $2,500. This disparity in value highlights the collectible nature of the coin, as opposed to its practical use as currency.

尽管购买价格很高，但该硬币的法定货币价值还不到其十分之一，为 2,500 美元。这种价值差异凸显了硬币的收藏性质，而不是其作为货币的实际用途。

If you ever decide to sell a coin like this, it's important to note that banks will only pay the legal tender value, which might not be a great return on your investment.

如果您决定出售这样的硬币，请务必注意，银行只会支付法定货币的价值，这可能不会给您带来巨大的投资回报。

For instance, a shopper recently visited a Melbourne jeweller with a specially made $200 coin from 1983 and received over $1,000 in credit.

例如，一位购物者最近带着一枚 1983 年特制的 200 澳元硬币拜访了墨尔本的一家珠宝店，并收到了超过 1,000 澳元的信用额。

When asked about the discrepancy, Micheli Jewellery owner Darren Harris told Yahoo Finance that if you were to take the coin to a bank, they would give you $200 because that's the legal tender value.

当被问及这一差异时，Micheli Jewellery 老板达伦·哈里斯 (Darren Harris) 告诉雅虎财经，如果你将硬币带到银行，他们会给你 200 美元，因为这是法定货币的价值。

"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," he said.

“但我们支付的是硬币的价值，而这些硬币在过去五到六个月内可能上涨了至少 30%，因为黄金上涨了这么多，”他说。

The customer ended up getting more than $1,100 in credit at the jeweller.

该顾客最终在珠宝商处获得了超过 1,100 美元的信用额度。

This Masterpiece coin, being adorned with jewels, could fetch a higher price than $269,000 if you hold onto it long enough.

这枚饰有珠宝的杰作硬币如果您持有足够长的时间，它的价格可能会超过 269,000 美元。
