A Valuable Mule Dollar Found in Change
Do you know which dollar coin you might find in your change, pocket or piggy bank could be worth $1,000 or even more? Check the date, it needs to be a year 2000 dated $1 coin. Then you need to look closely at the circular rim of the coin -is it thicker than usual on the Queen side appearing doubled? If you think that’s the case then you might have a coin worth $1000 or more -the value of your rare coin will now depend on the condition after spending 17 years in circulation some coins are more valuable than others.
Quality Australian 2000 $1/10c Mules for Sale
If your 2000 dated coin does have the double rim on the Queen’s head side then what you have is a $1/10c mule, a variety of the Australian dollar coin that’s worth well over face value. It’s quite a valuable coin to find in change! The mule was made when a technician at the Mint in Canberra accidentally paired the Mob of ‘roos dollar reverse with the Queen’s head obverse normally used for the 10 cent piece. It’s slightly smaller size results in the thicker double rim.

Today’s value for a $1 mule coin -What’s a mule coin worth?
We’ve had a look at recent sold prices around the place and disregarded asking prices because, let’s face it, sometimes these can be quite over the top. A coins value is ultimately determined by the price a buyer will pay and the price that a seller will accept.
PCGS and NGC (both US third party grading services) graded coins are always going to command a premium over raw coins and sellers will pay this to be reassured of a genuine mint error mule coin.
