5月23日是全國幸運的一分錢日，被慶祝，鼓勵人們欣賞那些幸運的小時刻。

But if you find certain pennies, it could be more than just a small stroke of good luck - it’s possible to become a millionaire with just a single coin, thanks to rare pennies that are still in circulation.

但是，如果您發現某些便士，這不僅僅是一小撮好運 - 由於稀有的便士仍在流通，就可以成為一個只有一枚硬幣的百萬富翁。

A few years ago, man called Don Lutes Jr. rose to fame when he owned a penny that sold for $204,000 at an auction held by Heritage Auctions.

幾年前，當他擁有一分錢的一分錢在Heritage Auctions舉行的拍賣會上以204,000美元的價格賣出時，他叫Don Lutes Jr. Rose Fame。

The piece was a 1943 Lincoln bronze cent, a coin that was with the man from 1947 to 2018, when he gave it to the auction house before he died. Proceeds went to the Berkshire Athenaeum Public Library in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where Lutes was born and raised.

這件作品是1943年的林肯銅牌，這是一枚硬幣，是1947年至2018年的男子，當時他去世前將其交給了拍賣行。所得款項用於馬薩諸塞州皮茨菲爾德的伯克希爾雅典雅典公共圖書館，那裡的盧特斯出生和長大。

Since the news spread around the country, Americans have begun searching their pockets for pennies that could be worth thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of dollars. How do you know if you have one?

由於該消息在全國各地傳播，美國人已經開始尋找可能價值數千，數万甚至數百萬美元的便士。你怎麼知道你有一個嗎？

The value of a penny depends on its quality and rarity. The Don Lutes Jr. coin- a bronze Lincoln cent- was sold for such a huge amount because currently, only a handful of these exist. So far, 15 to 20 bronze Lincoln cents have been discovered. The most expensive sold for $1.7 million.

一分錢的價值取決於其質量和稀有性。唐·盧特斯（Don Lutes Jr. Coin）的銅牌林肯（Lincoln Cent-coin）以如此龐大的銷售而出售，因為目前只有少數存在。到目前為止，已經發現了15至20個青銅林肯美分。最昂貴的售價為170萬美元。

The high value of this coin is due to the fact that the Mint stopped using bronze in pennies to be able to instead use the material for armed struggle. Since then, the manufacture of pennies has been carried out with zinc-coated steel plates, making the bronze Lincoln cent “the most famous error coin in American numismatics”, according to David Stone, coin cataloguer at Heritage Auctions.

這種硬幣的高價值是由於造幣廠停止使用便士青銅的事實，以便能夠將材料用於武裝鬥爭。從那時起，便士的製造是用鋅塗層的鋼板進行的，使林肯的銅牌是“美國錢幣學中最著名的錯誤硬幣”，這是Heritage Auctions的硬幣編目David Stone。

Due to its rarity and great value, there are several fakes of the penny circulating in the collectors’ market. Experts recommend carrying out the famous magnet test to corroborate its veracity: if the coin sticks, it is fake because the true coin is made of bronze, which is not magnetic.

由於它的稀有性和巨大的價值，收藏家市場中有幾個佳餚流傳的假貨。專家建議進行著名的磁鐵測試來證實其真實性：如果硬幣棒，那是假的，因為真正的硬幣是用青銅製成的，這不是磁性的。

So check your pockets, and good luck on National Lucky Penny Day!

因此，請檢查您的口袋，並在國家幸運的一分錢日祝您好運！
