That's a really broad question. A coin's date is not the only factor in its value. The denomination, its condition, the mint mark if it has one, and in some cases the design variety within a given year are all factors. The U.S. has issued about 2 dozen denominations of circulating coins over the last 225 years, struck at 8 mints, so you have a huge set of coins to choose from.
If you want to learn about coins I'd suggest going to your local library and asking the reference desk people about a good introductory book. The famous Whitman Red Book is really a retail price guide, but it has enough historical info in it to be worthwhile as a reference book.
BTW, it's not very easy today for someone to go into collecting part time and make any kind of serious profit. The market for a lot of coins has been bid up so much that to make money you have to be more of a buyer and seller than a collector, and do it full-time. Most of us who are collectors do it for the fun of completing a set, learning new things, and being able to display (and brag!) about our accomplishments. With a couple of exceptions, none of us got rich as collectors.
