The world-first coin was designed as a reminder to give to those in need.

这枚世界上第一枚硬币的设计目的是为了提醒人们捐赠给有需要的人。

But those who are more selfishly-minded can cash in on the coin's skyrocketing value.

但那些更自私的人却可以从硬币飞涨的价值中获利。

Several 2020 Donation Dollars are listed on Ebay for over $8,000.

eBay 上列出的多款 2020 年捐款金额超过 8,000 美元。

The Royal Australian Mint said the intention behind the coin was twofold: to promote charitable behaviour and to provide a tangible, accessible way for people to enjoy the benefit of giving a small amount more frequently.

澳大利亚皇家造币厂表示，这枚硬币背后的意图有双重：促进慈善行为，并为人们提供一种切实可行的方式，让他们能够更频繁地享受少量捐赠的好处。

Dr Andrew Leigh, the Assistant Minister for Treasury, Competition and Charities, said last year that the Donation Dollar is 'helping to build a more reconnected Australia'.

财政部、竞争和慈善部助理部长安德鲁·利博士去年表示，捐款正在“帮助建设一个更加互联互通的澳大利亚”。

"When we donate to others, we experience the well-known "helper’s high" – the joy that comes from assisting others," Dr Leigh said.

“当我们向他人捐赠时，我们会体验到众所周知的‘帮助者的快乐’——帮助他人带来的快乐，”利博士说。

Royal Australian Mint CEO Leigh Gordon said one Donation Dollar had been minted for every Australian as a reminder of the importance of giving back.

澳大利亚皇家造币厂首席执行官 Leigh Gordon 表示，已为每个澳大利亚人铸造了一枚捐赠美元，以提醒人们回馈社会的重要性。

"The Donation Dollar is an example of where an innovation can inspire additional behaviours and the importance that cash can inject into the community," Mr Gordon said.

戈登先生说：“捐赠美元是一个例子，说明创新可以激发更多的行为，以及现金可以注入社区的重要性。”

"The number of people that have been inspired to make a donation by coming across a Donation Dollar far exceeds the value of that dollar."

“通过捐赠一美元而受到启发而捐款的人数远远超过了该美元的价值。”

There is an estimated six million currently in circulation.

目前流通量估计有 600 万枚。

The coin is instantly recognisable with the words ‘Give to Help Others’ and a green centre that is designed to wear down each time it's donated.

这枚硬币上刻有“捐赠以帮助他人”字样，其绿色中心设计为每次捐赠时都会磨损。

After being released, the Donation Dollar generated an additional $55m in incremental charitable giving, which will increase in future years.

捐赠美元发放后，额外产生了 5500 万美元的增量慈善捐赠，这一数字在未来几年还将继续增加。
