A year ago the below coin, apparently a 2015 $1 mule sold for $2,000 at Noble's auction. I wasn't aware of it's existence until this week. Does anyone know more about this? as I can't find much online. If a quantity of those are circulating - it might be time to look at one dollar coins again.  |

Have seen some discussion about it, believed to be 'Mint Sport"

To educate yourself on the Australian 2015 mule dollar
go to Google Images, and search:
'Australian 2015 mule dollar',
click on a few chosen images, thence the 'visit' tab.

Mint Sport I assume that is mischief (fun) by mint workers. Such coins shouldn't have left the building. When caught the worker responsible will permanently leave the building minus their employee ID. Quote:

While for the most I boycott Google for obvious reasons, that was the first thing I did - result > nothing: Hence my 'as I can't find much online' in OP I visited the Australian Coin Forum, which I don't use but do appear to be a member of, and there is talk of a 2014 mule ANZAC $1 - I might look into that.

Oops, my bad. Sorry.  The coin that I was thinking of was the 2014 mule ANZAC $1, but I believe it was also deemed to be due to mint sport. It appears there may be a 'mule' working at the RAM.  The fact that 2 of these so called 2015 $1/10c Mules have apparently been sold by someone living in the ACT speaks volumes to me. I still believe they are a creation of someone working at the Mint. Doesn't say much for RAM security. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

I should think such a place would have tough security? Anyhow, we know the 2000 mule is real and the mintage of that is unknown, Greg McDonald's catalog says 400 which is impossible - there are at least 5x that. These are interesting, but amusements for the rich. |

... and unfortunately this number is still growing due to the manufacturing of fake mules!   |

Compare the eye detail of this one, to any genuine Ian Rank-Broadley obverse One dollar or Ten Cents coin and you will immediately say:
FAKE !

Anyone seen any more 2015 mule dollars appear on Facebook or the like? The one in the auction is the last I have seen and I'm not sure if it's one of the ones that sold on ebay initially. |

saw the pictures on gumtree for the 2014 ANZAC mule, don't want to upload them here though as they aren't my photos or my coins.
