It's more easily read by vending machines because they do not need expensive bill readers.

It doesn't get torn and worn out, making it difficult to use in those machines.

It's harder to counterfeit.

It can be counted mechanically instead of by hand.

It lasts about 30 years in circulation, as opposed to 12-18 months

It costs far less to manufacture vs. paper money, on a lifecycle cost basis.

Ten pence is a British coin worth approximately 17 Canadian cents, as the exchange rate fluctuates. However, it’s important to note that ten pence is not a Canadian coin and would not be used in transactions within Canada.

What is a 1985 belgique coin worth?

The coin is from Belgium, and it is meant for use in the French-speaking portion of the country (those for use in the Dutch-speaking part of the country would be labelled "Belgie"). The value depends on which specific coin it is (denomination, etc.) and it's condition, but as I believe the only coin produced by Belgium in 1985 was the 50 centimes piece (KM#148.1), a bronze coin 19mm in diameter and weighing 2.75 grams, it is unlikely to be worth more than about 15 US cent in Uncirculated condition, and less than that in circulated condition.
