麥當勞推出限量版巨無霸紀念幣

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Big Mac, McDonald's is distributing across the globe a five-piece set of commemorative coins, a birthday gift to fans of the iconic fast food sandwich.

爲慶祝巨無霸誕生50週年，麥當勞正在全球推出全套共五枚的紀念幣，作爲給熱愛這款經典快餐三明治的粉絲的50週年禮物。

"Since it was introduced at a family-owned McDonald's restaurant 50 years ago, the Big Mac has traversed the globe and is enjoyed in cities from Shanghai to Chicago, providing delicious, feel good moments to people all over the world," said McDonald's President and CEO Steve Easterbrook. "So we wanted a global celebration as unique as the burger itself."

麥當勞總裁兼首席執行官史蒂夫·伊斯特布魯克表示：“自從50年前在一家家庭經營的麥當勞餐廳推出以來，巨無霸漢堡已經遍佈全球，在從上海到芝加哥的各個城市都很受歡迎，爲世界各地的人們提供了美味，以及美好的時光。所以我們想要一個像這款漢堡自己一樣獨特的全球慶典。”

McDonald's China started distributing the MacCoins in 2,500 outlets across the country on August 6th. Customers can receive a MacCoin with the purchase of a Big Mac.

本月6日，麥當勞中國開始在全國2500家門店發放麥幣。凡購買巨無霸的顧客即可獲得麥幣一枚。

Media reported that people queued up at McDonald's stores for the coins, and some even fainted due to long waits.

據媒體報道，爲獲得麥幣，民衆在麥當勞店外排起長隊，甚至有人因長時間等待而暈倒。

On Xianyu (Idle Fish), the used-goods mobile app of e-commerce giant Alibaba, a MacCoin is now priced 80 yuan while a set of five MacCoins 800 yuan amid the market craze.

由於市場的追捧，在電商巨頭阿里巴巴旗下的二手貨移動應用“閒魚”上，目前一個麥幣的標價是80元，一整套五枚的售價是800元。

Yue Shenshan, a lawyer with Yuecheng Law Firm in Beijing, said the McDonald's anniversary coins were a souvenir, and could not be regarded as legal tender.

北京嶽成律師事務所的嶽屾山律師表示，這款麥當勞週年紀念幣是一種紀念品，不能被視爲法定貨幣。
