The error coins have a bit of extra metal below the number ‘5’. When you turn the coin upside down, this error makes the ‘5’ look like a flamingo's beak.

錯誤硬幣在數字“5”下方有一點額外的金屬。當你把硬幣倒過來時，這個錯誤會讓「5」看起來像火烈鳥的喙。

“The errors that occur on Australian coins, and I suppose most world coins, are usually caused by something happening to the dies that strike the coins,” Anthony Thompson, owner of Thompsons Coins and Collectables, told Yahoo Finance.

湯普森硬幣和收藏品公司的老闆安東尼·湯普森告訴雅虎財經：“澳大利亞硬幣以及我認為世界上大多數硬幣上出現的錯誤通常是由撞擊硬幣的模具發生問題引起的。”

“There are a huge number of different varieties on coins and that’s one of the main causes, is die cracks.”

“硬幣上有大量不同的品種，這是主要原因之一，模具裂紋。”

According to Coinworks, the 2001 flamingo error coin recently sold for $2,000.

據 Coinworks 稱，2001 年火烈鳥錯誤硬幣最近以 2,000 美元的價格售出。

Other valuable 5 cent coins include ones minted in 1972 worth between $20 to $100 due to their relatively small mintage.

其他有價值的 5 分硬幣包括 1972 年鑄造的硬幣，由於其發行量相對較少，價值在 20 至 100 美元之間。
