People in Britain are being encouraged to re-examine their everyday change after a rare error in the production of a 20p coin has led to a surge in collector interest.

鼓勵英國的人們在生產20p硬幣的罕見錯誤後重新檢查他們的日常變化，這導致了收藏家的興趣激增。

The misprint, which dates back to 2008, has seen a small number of coins emerge from the Royal Mint without the usual date inscription. This oversight has become a point of intrigue in the numismatic world, while the coins themselves continue to appear in pockets and purses across the UK.

這種錯誤的印刷可以追溯到2008年，它在沒有通常的日期銘文的情況下從皇家造幣廠出現了少量硬幣。在錢幣世界中，這種疏忽已成為陰謀的重點，而硬幣本身則繼續出現在整個英國的口袋和錢包中。

A minting error from 2008 has seen a British 20p coin surface in what is becoming an interesting year for coin collecting in the UK.

2008年的鑄造錯誤已經在英國收集硬幣的一年中看到了英國20p硬幣的表面。

According to the Royal Mint, the anomaly occurred in 2008 during a transitional redesign of the coin, when the new reverse design featuring a portion of the Royal Shield was accidentally paired with the old obverse side bearing the Tudor rose.

根據皇家造幣廠的說法，異常發生在2008年在硬幣的過渡重新設計中，當時新的反向設計帶有皇家盾牌的一部分，而意外與舊的正面側面搭配了Tudor Rose。

As a result, a limited number of coins were released without a date on either side—an oversight known in numismatic terms as a ‘mule error.’

結果，在任何一側都沒有約會的情況下釋放了有限數量的硬幣，這是一種用數值術語稱為“ mule誤差”的監督。

The minting institution specified that the issue affected fewer than 250,000 coins out of the 136 million 20p pieces minted between 2008 and 2009. Despite the error, these coins remain legal tender and are technically worth 20 pence.

鑄造機構規定，在2008年至2009年之間鑄造的1.36億20便士中，該問題影響了不到25萬個硬幣。儘管有錯誤，但這些硬幣仍然是法定招標，從技術上講，這些硬幣仍然價值20便士。

However, their unusual nature has made them increasingly desirable among coin collectors. The value of an undated 20p coin in fair condition can now reach or exceed £60, depending on demand and condition.

但是，他們的異常性質使他們在硬幣收藏家中越來越多。目前，未註明日期的20p硬幣的價值現在可以達到或超過60英鎊，具體取決於需求和狀況。

One numismatic expert has been advising people to ‘stop spending your 20p coins and check them!'

一位錢幣專家一直在建議人們“停止花20p硬幣並檢查它們！”

The advice was recently shared by the Coin Collecting Wizard, who has been sharing his expertise on coins and banknotes with followers on social media.

該建議最近由收集巫師分享，他一直在與社交媒體上的追隨者分享他的硬幣和鈔票方面的專業知識。

Pointing out that the coin is still being discovered by members of the public in general circulation, the expert added: “Normally, 20p coins have the date on the back, but if you check and there’s no date on either side, you might be holding the rare one.”

專家指出，一般流通的公眾仍在發現硬幣時，專家補充說：“通常，20便士硬幣的日期有日期，但是如果您檢查並且雙方都沒有約會，那麼您可能會持有罕見的幣。”

While not considered extremely rare within professional numismatic circles, the undated 20p has become a point of interest due to its high volume and the ease with which it can be identified.

雖然在專業錢幣界中並不是極為罕見的，但由於其大容量和可識別的易於性，未註明日期的20p已成為一個興趣點。

The slip-up occurred during a transition to a new coin design, which evidently bypassed any quality control measures at the time.

滑倒發生在過渡到新硬幣設計的過程中，顯然繞過了當時的任何質量控制措施。

Those interested in verifying a coin’s authenticity are advised to consult with reputable dealers or professional valuation services for optimal assessment.

那些有興趣驗證硬幣的真實性的人，建議諮詢信譽良好的經銷商或專業估值服務，以進行最佳評估。
