That is a far too extensive a question to answer here, and also depends on what your definition of "value" is. The coins of greatest value are all locked up in museums and the collections of the very wealthy.

A rule of thumb is that with a few exceptions, all British decimal coins other than Proof or Mint Uncirculated coins, have little or no value above face value.

For predecimal British Coins, you will need to consult a coin catalogue and check your coins against the descriptions and conditions of the coins and look out for any rarities, errors or peculiarities. Proof and Mint Uncirculated coins will always have a relatively higher value.

What can you write about the Australian coin?

Prior to 1910, Australia used the British currency. British coins continued to circulate with Australian coins for many years. The Australian coinage was first introduced in 1910 and included the Threepence, Sixpence, Shilling and Florin. All coins were based on the equivalent British coins and were made from sterling silver. The following year in 1911, the One Penny and Halfpenny coins were introduced, again all based on the equivalent British coins and were made from bronze. Paper money was introduced in 1913. In the early 1960's, it was decided that Australia should have a decimal currency rather than the cumbersome British Imperial style of currency. It was eventually decided that Australia would adopt the Dollar of 100 cents as its currency. The last of the predecimal coins were minted in 1964. On the 14th of February, 1966 the new Australian decimal currency was issued to a well prepared Australian public.
