Three rare British coins could be hiding in your loose change - and they boast a combined value of 'up to £72,900'.

您的零钱中可能藏着三枚稀有的英国硬币 - 它们的总价值“高达 72,900 英镑”。

With many of us now using debit and credit cards for payments, it's likely that your loose change is getting tossed aside. But one specialist has now urged the public to keep an eye out for three coins in particular.

由于我们中的许多人现在使用借记卡和信用卡进行付款，因此您的零钱很可能会被扔到一边。但一位专家现在敦促公众特别关注三种硬币。

Co-founder of Coins Value Chris Yang said that a 1983 2p coin with the words 'New Pence' on it could be worth up to £700.

Coins Value 的联合创始人 Chris Yang 表示，一枚 1983 年 2 便士的硬币，上面印有“New Pence”字样，其价值可能高达 700 英镑。

Another coin on the list is a 1933 penny which could fetch up to £72,000 - but good luck finding one of those.

名单上的另一枚硬币是一枚 1933 年的便士，售价可达 72,000 英镑 - 但祝你好运，找到其中一枚。

Finally, a 2009 50p coin to mark the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens could be worth up to £200.

最后，一枚 2009 年纪念邱园 250 周年的 50 便士硬币的价值可能高达 200 英镑。

Here's a closer look at each of these coins and how much they could be worth.

以下是对这些硬币的详细了解以及它们的价值。

1. 1983 2p coin with 'New Pence'

1. 1983 年 2 便士硬币，印有“新便士”字样

According to Chris, due to a minting error, some 1983 2p coins were struck with 'New Pence' on the reverse rather than 'Two Pence'.

据克里斯称，由于铸造错误，一些 1983 年 2 便士硬币的背面刻有“新便士”而不是“两便士”。

This mistake makes it quite valuable among collectors as it's not clear how many are still in circulation - although some suggest they were included in souvenir sets.

这个错误使其在收藏家中非常有价值，因为目前尚不清楚有多少件仍在流通 - 尽管有些人认为它们已包含在纪念品套装中。

"If you find one of these coins, you can sell them at numismatic auction houses or on online marketplaces like eBay," Chris said.

“如果你找到其中一枚硬币，你可以在钱币拍卖行或 eBay 等在线市场上出售它们，”克里斯说。

He estimates that a 1983 New Pence coin can fetch between £500 and £700.

他估计一枚 1983 年新便士硬币的售价在 500 至 700 英镑之间。

2. 1933 penny

2. 1933年便士

During the 1930s, banks possessed a stock of pennies so large that it was completely unnecessary to put any more in general circulation, The Royal Mint said.

英国皇家造币厂表示，在 20 世纪 30 年代，银行拥有大量的便士库存，完全没有必要再投入流通。

So, as part of a convention, 1933 King George V pennies - among others - were instead buried beneath the foundation stones of new buildings.

因此，作为大会的一部分，1933 年乔治五世国王的便士等被埋在了新建筑的基石下。

"There was a convention at the time that complete sets of coins of the current year were buried under the foundation stones of new buildings," The Royal Mint said.

英国皇家造币厂表示：“当时有一项惯例，将当年的整套硬币埋在新建筑的基石下。”

"Consequentially, three 1933 pennies were struck for buildings erected in that year, along with a small number to be kept as record copies by the British Museum and the Royal Mint Museum."

“因此，为当年建造的建筑物铸造了三枚 1933 年便士，还有少量由大英博物馆和皇家铸币博物馆作为记录副本保存。”

If you're lucky enough to find a 1933 King George V coin, you're essentially sitting on a goldmine.

如果您有幸找到一枚 1933 年乔治五世国王硬币，那么您实际上就坐在一座金矿上。

Chris said that such a coin may sell for a staggering £72,000 - after one was sold at an auction in 2016, MailOnline reports.

据《每日邮报》报道，克里斯表示，在 2016 年的一次拍卖会上，一枚硬币的售价可能高达 72,000 英镑。

It seems the value is only increasing as one was reportedly sold for £40,000 in 2004, and £45,000 in 2006.

据报道，其中一件在 2004 年以 40,000 英镑的价格售出，2006 年以 45,000 英镑的价格售出，看来其价值只会不断增加。

"This is one of the rarest British coins because only a few were ever produced as part of a special minting for record-keeping," Chris said.

克里斯说：“这是最稀有的英国硬币之一，因为只有少数硬币是作为记录保存的特殊铸造的一部分而生产的。”

"The rarity and historical significance of the coin makes it highly sought after by collectors.

“这枚硬币的稀有性和历史意义使其备受收藏家追捧。

"If you find one of these coins, high-end auction houses like Sotheby's or Bonhams would be the best option."

“如果你找到其中一枚这样的硬币，像苏富比或邦瀚斯这样的高端拍卖行将是最好的选择。”

3. 2009 Kew Gardens 50p coin

3. 2009 年邱园 50 便士硬币

Last but not least, Chris drew to our attention an unusual 50p issued in 2009 to mark the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens.

最后但并非最不重要的一点是，Chris 提请我们注意 2009 年为纪念邱园 250 周年而发行的一张不同寻常的 50 便士。

If you've ever visited the gardens, you may recognise the coin's Chinese Pagoda which was originally built in 1762, but freshly restored in 2018.

如果您曾经参观过花园，您可能会认出硬币上的中国宝塔，该塔始建于 1762 年，于 2018 年重新修复。

"Only 210,000 coins were minted, making them one of the most sought-after 50p coins in circulation," Chris said.

“仅铸造了 210,000 枚硬币，使其成为流通中最受欢迎的 50 便士硬币之一，”克里斯说。

"The coin commemorates the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens, featuring the iconic Pagoda on the reverse of the coin."

“这枚硬币是为了纪念邱园成立 250 周年，硬币的背面印有标志性的宝塔。”

Chris believes that eBay and the London Coin Company are two of the best places to sell these coins.

克里斯认为，eBay 和伦敦硬币公司是销售这些硬币的两个最佳地点。

Although they can fetch between £150 and £200, it may depend on their condition.

虽然它们的售价在 150 到 200 英镑之间，但这可能取决于它们的状况。
