Literally face value... there are literally millions of 50 cent coins in circulation - and they're still being minted.
With the exception of the 1966 round 50 cent coin, all issues of the Australian 50 cent coin are potentially still in circulation, so unless they are Mint Uncirculated, not much more than face value. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.
The Australian 1 cent coin, along with the 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins, were first issued on the 14th of February, 1966 for the introduction of Australia's decimal currency. The last Australian 1 cent coins were issued for circulation in 1990 and they were progressively withdrawn from circulation in 1994.
These coins are no longer in circulation, but unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 1 cent. The last Australian 1 cent coins were put into general circulation in 1990 and are no longer in circulation. There were "Mint Packs" released in 1991 for collectors.
Australia's current currency is made up of the 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Dollar notes. General circulation coins include the 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins and the 1 and 2 Dollar coins. The Australian 1 and 2 cent coins were withdrawn from circulation in 1992.

No, they are not especially rare. There were 36.252 million issued. They have the dubious distinction of being the most hoarded Australian coin, since they were removed from circulation in 1967 after the price of silver skyrocketed.
