A "mule" in Coins and Paper Money is anything that was made with one denomination or design on one side and a mismatched denomination or design on the other. The term comes from the fact that a mule animal is a hybrid of a donkey and a horse.

Mules can be quite valuable. Mule coins occur when a die for one denomination is put into one side of a press and a different denomination is accidentally put in the other side. Mule coins are usually readily identifiable because the different-size dies cause metal to be squeezed out around the smaller image. Mule bills occur when mismatched printing plates are put into the same press.

It's important to have any suspected mule checked in person by an expert. Many people have been taken in by fake mule coins made by cutting two genuine coins in half and fusing the swapped sides. Similarly, fake mule bills have been created by bleaching the side of a genuine bill and re-printing it with a copied image of a different denomination.
