Turning $1 into $3,000 sounds like a magic trick, but you could very well achieve it if you have a mule coin in your collection.

What is a mule coin?

It's a coin that has an error or something reversed on the coin.

This example is in the error on the back of the Australian $1 coin.

There is a double rim that should not be present which makes this coin very sought after by collectors.

Basically, they used a 10 cent piece die to mint these particular coins by mistake which caused the double rim.
