What is the value of a 1969 and 1981 Australian 20 cent coin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Australian 20 cent coins since the introduction of Decimal Currency in 1966 are still in circulation, so unless they are part of a proof set or as previously described, they are worth 20 cents.

The only slightly unusual thing about the 1981 coins was that, for the first time in years, Australian coins were minted outside of Australia. Aproximately 15-20% were minted in Wales and Canada.

There is however an error coin dubbed 3.5 claw that can go for 100's AUD. There may be other error coins as well that will increase it's value beyond it's face value.

What is the value of 7 consecutive Australian One Dollar notes in mint condition?

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on the year of issue (the serial number), an uncirculated mint condition Australian One Dollar note might fetch anything from $9 to $990 AUD.

A consecutively numbered group would possibly get considerably more.

For any reasonable valuation of Australian banknotes, the serial number, the signatories and any peculiarities would need to be known.

Why is the Australian 100 Dollar note bigger than the 50 20 10 and the 5 Dollar notes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All Australian banknotes are made in different sizes and colours to give a clear visual distinction between the different denominations.

The historical trend for banknotes (not coins) is that the larger the denomination of the banknote, the larger the banknote.

What is the value of a 1957 uncirculated mint coin set?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The U.S. did not make proof sets in 1967, only special mint sets.

The coins were copper-nickel except for the half dollar which was 40% silver.

If you have a special mint set its value is about $10 retail.

With the price of silver where it is you have 15 to 20 bucks in silver alone. If these is the 1967 Candien proof set i have seen them go for close to 50 bucks on eBay and that's starting the biding at a penny and watching it rise. I personal think the value is in how cool each coin is Candians seem to have more intresting coin designs than Amercain coins

What were the advantages of changing old Australian decimal notes from paper to polymer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most, if not all countries put serial numbers on their banknotes.

It helps to identify when and where they were printed, how many of them were printed and it makes counterfeiting just that little more difficult.

In more recent years, the serial number incorporates the year of printing, for example, a serial number of AA 06123456, indicates that the note was printed in 2006.

How much is an 1937 Australian crown worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There were around a million of these coins struck, so they are not particularly rare. They have just shy of a full ounce of silver in them (0.8407 ozt ASW to be precise), so circulated examples are worth anywhere between $18 and $40 each at the moment.

When independently graded as being in premium "mint" condition, they can bring more than $300.

You have a 1oz Australian Kookaburra 99.99% Silver One Dollar coin with a diameter of 40.6 mm. Queen Elizabeth is on the obverse, a perched kookaburra with its head up on the reverse. It has a frosted design with a shiny background and was issued in a case by the Perth Mint as non-circulating legal tender.
