A jitney, as used in your question, is an old term used when referring to a nickel coin. It is not in use very much today.
The old New Zealand 50 cent coin is approximately 31.75mm in diameter and 2.5mm thick.
The old South African 50 cent coin, particularly valuable, is the 1965 minting. This coin is sought after by collectors due to its lower mintage and historical significance. Additionally, the 1980 50 cent coin is also valuable, especially if it is in uncirculated condition. Coins from these years can fetch higher prices in the numismatic market.
The value of an old 20-cent coin can vary significantly depending on its condition, rarity, and demand among collectors. Generally, standard circulated 20-cent coins may be worth their face value or slightly more, while rare or uncirculated examples can fetch higher prices. For an accurate assessment, it's best to consult a coin collector or a numismatic expert.
If the coin is a US 1 cent coin dated 1909 it could be a Indian Head or Lincoln cent, both have the same date. Post new question.
In Australia, the slang word for a 5-cent coin is a "zac" or "zack". Either way it is pronounced the same (like zak). The word, like the coin itself, is less common these days.

I am pretty sure, along Great Russell St, pretty much just across the street of The Brittish Museum in a small coin shop, that you will be able to trade your old money.
Its value is still 50 cents South African. This comes to about 0.07c U.S.

Well, honey, that 2002 50 cent euro coin is worth... you guessed it, 50 cents! It's not like it magically turns into a rare gem just because it's old. So, unless you find a collector who's willing to pay more for it, don't go planning your retirement on that coin.
