I found an infamous $1 mule in my change the other night , I have sent it off to be graded and slabbed, it's a great mule, with a pretty good centering of the 10c die, hopefully it comes back with a good grading too!
Nice coin good luck with the grading

In that case
"very" [/size]well done. I've got 2 X 2000 Mules, but didn't find either of them so IMO you are extremely lucky to have found one.
How long have you been searching?
The only 2000 $1 mule I have I found in the envelope the postie asked me to sign for!
So, well done.
Congratulations Surge.
I've been checking the $1 coins in the till at work for years and still haven't found one.

You are all going to hate me but Haven't been searching long at all my uncle who has got me into coin/banknote collecting only told me about the coin 2 weeks ago, and last Wednesday night I was at a cafe and orderd a coffee and, it was in my change !!! Just REALLY lucky I guess :)
I am the same, never found one, just signed for one like JeffH. Congratulations and welcome.
You know the chances of getting one in change are pretty miniscule. Most people who find them are going through bulk lots. You need to buy a lottery ticket.
I signed for both of mine. :angel:
found in change after not looking for long? That's just not cricket.
I found 1 after looking for maybe 3 months going through all my vending machine coins, must have looked at 10000 $1 coins till I found 1.
I have found one, but I have searched a lot of coins (many more than "coins from vending").
I also found my mule early in my searching of $1 coins and have not found another since.
I found my first back about 2006 then nothing until earlier this year and pulled another 2 within 3 weeks of each other. They're still out there somewhere.
Nice find Surge, keep up the good work and find some more....
I went through 80,000 darn one dollar coins and never found one!
Elusive little buggers....
