tiddyathome Valued Member Australia 252 Posts	Posted 12/22/2006 04:06 am I have heard that one of the 50 cent coins has something different about the flag. Please help me and tell me which one it is on and the difference between the correct one and the error. Report this Post to the Staff

It's apparently hard to tell the difference, but if you have both coins together, it's easier to see & feel the difference, or so I'm led to believe, never having handled one myself.

triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9415 Posts	Posted 12/22/2006 6:35 pm I'm only going my memory here, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can also tell the difference by looking a the big star on the flag. On some coins it is smooth at the bottom and on others it is rough. Steve Report this Post to the Staff
