现在，拥有 201,800 名粉丝的 TikTok 用户@CoinCollectingWizard 透露了永远不应该清理旧硬币的原因 - 这一切都与稀有因素有关。

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

在一段广为流传的视频中，有人清洗了一枚 2 便士的硬币，结果“令人震惊”。

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.

他说：“你永远不应该清洁你的硬币，这就是为什么……2便士硬币通常是铜色的，但这种特殊的硬币是意外铸造在与10便士硬币相同的底座上的。

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

“皇家造币厂每天生产 3 至 400 万枚硬币，因此有时会出现错误是可以理解的。

"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.

“这种便士被称为骡币或错误币，这使得它们‘超级稀有’，这使得它对收藏家来说‘超级有价值’，因为它们几乎是独一无二的。

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

“但如果你认为这很特别，请看看下一枚硬币。

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

“由于设计上的特定转变，1983 年新便士两便士被认为是罕见的。

"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，皇家造币厂开始更改硬币上的铭文，从新便士改为两便士。如果您找到这枚稀有硬币，您的价格将超过 1,000 英镑。”

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