To clear things up, coins are said to be "minted" or "struck" so the term is mis-strike rather than misprint.

Mis-struck coins can be valuable, but it depends on the nature of the error. If the date is missing a digit, for example, it's probably not worth anything extra because this error is usually the result of a filled die. Filled die errors are common and happen when a bit of grease or crud gets into the little recesses in a die that form the letters and numbers when a coin is struck. On the other hand, sometimes a person at the Mint will make a mistake when creating the dies so you could find a digit that's not correctly formed. These errors are very rare due to high quality control standards.
