The Two Dollar coin was the most recent addition to Australia's circulating coinage and had to fit in with, and be distinguished from, 7 existing types of circulating coin. Circulating coins are no longer made of precious metals, so there is no longer a need to make them to any particular size for any particular metal or denomination. There was also a need to consider the visually impaired. The Two Dollar coin is slightly larger than the 5 cent coin and slightly smaller than the 10 cent coin, and significantly thicker than both.
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.

If these coins have even been released into circulation yet, they are worth 10 cents.
There are no Australian 5 cent coins minted for general circulation that could be considered to be rare. Australian 5 cent coins, in all years that they were minted, are still potentially in circulation so, 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 5 cents.
Any genuine coin with a genuine flaw would be worth something more than usual. The Australian 1966 10 cent coin has no documented occurence of any minting flaws. A reputable coin dealer should be able to give a valuation.
