麥當勞首推限量版紀念幣！你喜歡嗎？

It's not exactly pennies from heaven, but McDonald's is planning to make it rain coins to celebrate the Big Mac's 50th anniversary.

這肯定不是來自天堂的硬幣，但是金拱門爲了紀念巨無霸50週年來了一場金幣雨。

Starting at the lunch rush on Thursday, customers can receive a MacCoin with the purchase of a Big Mac at 14,000 participating restaurants across the United States, McDonald's announced Sunday.

麥當勞週日宣佈，活動從本週四中午開始全美14000家麥當勞，凡購買巨無霸套餐即可獲得一枚巨無霸幣。

And what's the coin good for? Another Big Mac.

這個硬幣可以用來幹嘛，可以買另外一個巨無霸。

Customers can redeem the new currency for a free Big Mac starting Friday and running throughout the rest of 2018.

消費者可以認爲這個硬幣可以換一個免費巨無霸，從週五開始兌換到2018年底。

In an Interview with USA TODAY, McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook explained Thursday was selected as the release date for the brass-colored coins because it would've been the 100th birthday of Jim Delligatti, a McDonald's franchisee in western Pennsylvania who invented the Big Mac.

在週四接受《今日美國》的採訪時，麥當勞首席執行官Steve Easterbrook解釋說，之所以發行這個古銅色硬幣，是爲了紀念麥當勞的在賓州西部連鎖商Jim Delligatti誕辰100週年，就是他發明了巨無霸。

The coin idea sprung from the role that the Big Mac has played in measuring purchasing power.

這個硬幣的誕生還扮演着衡量巨無霸購買力的作用。

The Big Mac has become an American icon over its 50-year run. In 2007, the Big Mac Museum Restaurant was established in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, to honor the juicy burger. Its Big Mac sculpture is 14 feet tall and 12 feet in diameter.

巨無霸在美國有超過50年的歷史，現在已經儼然成了美國的一個標誌。2007年還在賓夕法尼亞北亨廷頓建造了巨無霸博物館，來標榜他們鮮美多汁的漢堡。他們給巨無霸塑像，高14英寸高，直徑大12英尺。

And in 2016, McDonald's division in the United Kingdom auctioned off a 740-milliliter bottle of sauce used in the burger for roughly $95,000 on eBay.

在2016年，在英國一瓶740毫升巨無霸的醬汁在eBay上拍賣高達95000英鎊。

McDonald's sold 1.3 billion Big Macs last year, according to the chain.

根據整個連鎖店數據，去年麥當勞一共賣出了13億個巨無霸。
