What is the value of a 1969 and 1981 Australian 20 cent coin?

Answer 1

Australian 20 cent coins since the introduction of Decimal Currency in 1966 are still in circulation, so unless they are part of a proof set or as previously described, they are worth 20 cents.

The only slightly unusual thing about the 1981 coins was that, for the first time in years, Australian Coins were minted outside of Australia. Aproximately 15-20% were minted in Wales and Canada.

There is however an error coin dubbed 3.5 claw that can go for 100's AUD. There may be other error coins as well that will increase it's value beyond it's face value.

Answer 2

These coins are potentially still 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 20 cents.
