Firstly the coin is not made from silver and brass. The centre is of a golden coloured alloy and the ring of an silver coloured alloy. Secondly, as for value, that depends on the rarity of the coin. There is much hype on the value of the R5 Mandela coins. I think only a select few coins are really valuable. The rest are mere circulation coins with a value equal to its face value, for now anyway. Who knows how much such circulation coins will be worth in 50 years time? I think a lot of people spending a lot of money on Mandela R5 coins will be disappointed. Caveat emptor.
Circulated coins are generally not rare dude. They will have much marks from wear and tear. To sell "rare" coins, try coin dealers. See if they are willing buyers at decent prices. One can then always try the Internet. Just be careful, as there is much hype on the Mandela R5 coins; people will burn their fingers.
To determine the value of a 2-liter bottle filled with R5 coins, we first need to calculate the volume of a single R5 coin. The volume of a South African R5 coin is approximately 9.22 cubic centimeters. Next, we calculate the total number of R5 coins that can fit in a 2-liter bottle, which is equal to 2,000,000 cubic centimeters divided by 9.22 cubic centimeters per coin, resulting in approximately 217,130 coins. Finally, multiplying the number of coins by the denomination of each coin (R5) gives us a total value of around R1,085,650.

Good question! I assume you are referring to the South African R5 Mandela coins. There are quite a lot in issue and some people have cottoned onto the idea of grading the coins and thus sell them for thousands. I would suggest they are worth only face value, as it is still legal tender in South Africa. And if you are looking to collect one or two as memorabilia, then by all means do so. If I had to buy one, as I am not in South Africa, I would say $8 at most. I hope that helps.

You are asking about the 5 Rand coin from South Africa with an image of Nelson Mandela (KM#230). The coin weighs 7 grams and is composed of nickel-plated steel. The front has a portrait of Nelson Mandela within a rounded square with the date below and the words "ININGIZIMU AFRIKA" (Zulu for "South Africa") around. The back has an image of a Wildebeest and the denomination. The coin, produced in 2000, is valued (according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins) at US$4.50 in Uncirculated condition, US$5.50 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, and US$10.00 in Proof.
The value of a silver 1 kg Mandela Robin Island Bailey would be a little over US$2000.
