钱币和收藏品博览会有望成为一场盛宴

本迪戈钱币和收藏品俱乐部将于 8 月 3 日星期六在展览场举办年度博览会，对于钱币爱好者来说，圣诞节将提前到来。

Coin enthusiasts will be able to get their hands on some rare Bluey commemorative coins at a coin and collectables fair in Bendigo on Saturday.

周六，钱币爱好者将能够在本迪戈的钱币和收藏品博览会上买到一些稀有的 Bluey 纪念币。

The Bendigo Coin and Collectables Club will host the fair at the Bendigo Showgrounds exhibition building from 9.30am.

本迪戈硬币和收藏品俱乐部将于上午 9 点 30 分在本迪戈展览场地展览大楼举办博览会。

Club treasurer and fair co-ordinator Paul Brownlie said there may be some sought-after Bluey commemorative coins available, which were released by the Royal Australian Mint in limited quantities in June to celebrate the cartoon character.

俱乐部财务主管兼博览会协调员保罗·布朗利 (Paul Brownlie) 表示，可能会推出一些广受欢迎的 Bluey 纪念币，澳大利亚皇家造币厂于 6 月份限量发行了这些纪念币，以庆祝这个卡通人物。

These coins provoked a buying frenzy and are now considered very difficult to obtain.

这些硬币引发了购买狂潮，现在被认为很难获得。

“There might be some Bluey coins there, but you’ll have to get in quick,” Mr Brownlie said.

“那里可能有一些 Bluey 硬币，但你必须快速进入，”布朗利先生说。

“They were released by the mint in very small quantities and they’re very hard to get.”

“它们是由造币厂发行的，数量非常少，而且很难获得。”

Mr Brownlie said the popularity of the Bluey coins, and also commemorative coins released for NAIDOC Week, had created a resurgence in coin collecting around the country.

布朗利先生表示，Bluey 硬币以及为 NAIDOC 周发行的纪念币的流行，在全国范围内掀起了硬币收藏的热潮。

“Coin collecting at the moment is huge because of the coloured coins,” he said.

“由于彩色硬币，目前的硬币收藏量很大，”他说。

“We’re expecting a big crowd at the fair.”

“我们预计展会上将会有一大群人。”

Nearly 50 traders will set up more than 100 tables in the foyer area of the exhibition building, with the doors to open at 9.30am.

近50家贸易商将在展览大楼门厅区摆出100多张桌子，上午9.30开门。

Dollarbucks $1 coins were sold in three-coin collections and are now attracting big prices on eBay.

Dollarbucks 1 美元硬币以三枚硬币的形式出售，现在在 eBay 上吸引了高价。

The fair, now in its second year at the showgrounds exhibition building site, is always popular.

该展会已是第二年在展览场地举办，一直很受欢迎。

The club is expecting at least 1000 people to browse the tables, with local, Melbourne and interstate traders booked.

该俱乐部预计至少有 1000 人参观赌桌，本地、墨尔本和州际交易者已预订。

Aside from coins, other collectable items will also be for sale.

除了硬币之外，其他收藏品也将出售。

Mr Brownlie said interest in collectables remained strong, with people constantly seeking out items such as AFL and NRL footy cards and pre-decimal currency.

布朗利先生表示，人们对收藏品的兴趣依然强劲，人们不断寻找 AFL 和 NRL 足球卡以及十进制前的货币等物品。

“There’s always a strong interest in footy cards and pre-decimal coins,” he said.

“人们对足球卡和十进制前的硬币总是有浓厚的兴趣，”他说。

“Some uncirculated $2 coins often go for considerable sums while commemorative $2 poppy coins in honour of Remembrance Day – released by the mint in 2012 – remain a favourite.”

“一些未流通的 2 美元硬币往往价值不菲，而造币厂于 2012 年发行的纪念阵亡将士纪念日的 2 美元罂粟纪念币仍然很受欢迎。”

Entry to the fair will be by gold coin donation and most tables will be cash-only.

入场需通过金币捐赠，大多数餐桌只接受现金。
