No Nickels were struck in silver after 1945, the value is 5 cents.
The 1981 Belgium 20 franc coin (20f) is made of a copper-nickel alloy, specifically composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel. This composition gives the coin a distinctive silver-like appearance and durability. It features the image of King Baudouin on one side and the denomination on the reverse. The coin was part of Belgium's currency before the adoption of the euro.

If the coins are struck in cupro-nickel just a few pounds. If they are silver proofs then they will have a scrap value - weigh them. £14 an ounce for silver and a Troy Ounce is 31.1035 grammes.
5 cents. Not an unusual coin.
All circulation 1971 and later halves are made of copper-nickel, not silver, so they have no added value if you found it in change. A nice uncirculated 1981-P half might bring $1 to $8 depending on quality. A 1981-D would be $1 to $12.
If these are the silver commemoratives then they have a 'scrap' value of approximately £90 - £110 at today's silver prices (£14 a Troy Ounce as at 1 October 2010). If they are cupro-nickel then between £5 and £10 max.
The coin is unlikely to be worth more than £5-£10. These were struck by the Pobjoy Mint merely to celebrate the wedding on July 29th, 1981. They have NO collectors' or numismatic value as they are not even silver merely an alloy of copper and nickel.
The copper plating was not done by the U.S. Mint so the coin is just face value. NOTE: No U.S. Mint plates any coins with copper, gold or silver.
SBA dollars were never struck in silver. They're all made of copper-nickel. Circulated SBA dollars are only worth face value. Uncirculated ones are usually about $1.25-$1.50 except for 1981-dated coins, which go for about $2.30.

Its face value is 5 cents, but the melt value of a 1955-1981 Canadian nickel is $0.09 so the melt value is 4 cents more than the face value of the coin5 cents. It's not rare, and many are still in circulation.
The first nickels were minted in 1866.Prior to that time 5-cent coins were smaller, made from silver, and called half-dimes. If you have a coin that says HALF DIME on the back, an 1861 coin in good condition (G4) is worth $20.00; if it's mint state is MS60, the value is: $200.00.If it looks like a regular nickel, you are probably looking at a 1981 nickel from the wrong angle. (1981 upside-down is 1861)The US Mint did not produce a nickel in 1861.
It's considered to be an altered coin with no collector value. The coin itself is copper-nickel, not silver, so it's only worth 50 cents I'm afraid.
