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.

错误硬币在数字“5”下方有一点额外的金属。当你把硬币倒过来时，这个错误会让“5”看起来像火烈鸟的喙。

“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.

汤普森硬币和收藏品公司的老板安东尼·汤普森告诉雅虎财经：“澳大利亚硬币以及我认为世界上大多数硬币上出现的错误通常是由撞击硬币的模具发生问题引起的。”

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

“硬币上有大量不同的品种，这是主要原因之一，模具裂纹。”

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

据 Coinworks 称，2001 年火烈鸟错误硬币最近以 2,000 美元的价格售出。

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

其他有价值的 5 分硬币包括 1972 年铸造的硬币，由于其发行量相对较少，价值在 20 至 100 美元之间。
