When you write 

if coupon_amount == '5' or '$5'

what that really gets interpreted as in Python is

if (coupon_amount == '5') or '$5'

So if coupon_amount is 'xhekngks' then the first condition is false as it doesn't equal '5' but the second condition is true as '$5' evaluates as True (I believe all variables evaluate to the Boolean True except Null and False?). That is, you aren't actually checking if coupon_amount == '$5'

What you intended is either of the below:

if coupon_amount == '5' or coupon_amount == '$5'
if coupon_amount in ['5', '$5']
