罕見的 50 分硬幣警告澳洲人提供 10,000 美元的發薪日

年薪18萬澳元的“輕鬆”工作急需工人：“我們還不夠”

Coin collectors have been warned about several online listings that have five-figure price tags when they're only actually worth a fraction of that.

錢幣收藏家已經收到警告，網路上有一些標價高達五位數的錢幣，而實際上它們的價值只是其中的一小部分。

People have been putting up different $1 coins from 1996 and claiming they are super rare because of a "defect".

自 1996 年以來，人們一直在發行不同的 1 美元硬幣，並聲稱由於“缺陷”，它們非常稀有。

One coin was listed on eBay for $10,500, while another had a hefty $20,000 asking price.

其中一枚硬幣在 eBay 上的標價為 10,500 美元，而另一枚則要價高達 20,000 美元。

But Mark Nemtsas from The Purple Penny told Yahoo Finance that you should steer clear at all costs.

但 The Purple Penny 的 Mark Nemtsas 告訴雅虎財經，你應該不惜一切代價避開。

"It's just a slightly damaged circulation $1 coin and not an error," he said.

他說：“這只是一枚流通的 1 美元硬幣有輕微損壞，並非錯誤。”

A Yahoo Finance investigation earlier this year exposed the "darker side" of coin collecting, revealing numerous listings online with wildly over-inflated prices.

雅虎財經今年稍早的一項調查揭露了錢幣收藏的“陰暗面”，揭露了網路上大量價格嚴重虛高的物品。

The listings, which were quickly debunked by experts, included a 20-cent coin that was meant to be worth $100, a $2 coin that was listed for $15,000 and a $1 coin that was meant to be worth $20,000.

這些清單很快就被專家揭穿，其中包括一枚 20 美分硬幣，原定價值 100 美元，一枚 2 美元硬幣，原價 15,000 美元，以及一枚 1 美元硬幣，原定價值 20,000 美元。

The listings were all for different $1 coins from 1996, which are meant to be valuable because they were the first $1 coins to be released into circulation.

列出的都是 1996 年以來不同的 1 美元硬幣，這些硬幣很有價值，因為它們是第一批投入流通的 1 美元硬幣。

However, Nemtsas said the coins that are being listed for thousands of dollars are just damaged and not actually rare at all.

然而，內姆察斯表示，標價數千美元的硬幣只是遭到損壞，實際上並不稀有。

"There were about 100 million of these coins struck in 1996, so they're not particularly rare," he said.

「1996 年鑄造了大約 1 億枚此類硬幣，因此它們並不是特別稀有，」他說。

"They're also not an error, they're just a slightly damaged circulation $1 coin."

“它們也不是錯誤，它們只是一枚輕微損壞的 1 美元流通硬幣。”

If you're ever unsure about the value of a coin, Nemtsas recommends checking with an expert or using a coin price guide to get an accurate estimate.

如果您不確定硬幣的價值，Nemtsas 建議諮詢專家或使用硬幣價格指南來獲得準確的估計。

"And if something seems too good to be true, it probably is," he said.

「如果某件事看起來好得令人難以置信，那麼它很可能就是真的，」他說。
