Australian Coins

To be strictly technical, the Susan B. Anthony $1 coin and Helen Keller state quarter are the only U.S. coins to bear the historical image of a woman.

However, the Sacajawea dollar bears an image intended to represent that Native guide although there are no known historical images of her. The sculptor (Glenna Goodacre) used a Native American college student as her model. Because we know who she used and who she intended to represent, it's just a slight stretch to say that a 3rd woman has been portrayed on a U.S. coin.

they were shoe makers and they like to get busy! if you know what i mean. they love to shop at Prada stores and live fore JESUS! PWN

1 dollar = 100 cents = 5 cents x 20

then 18 x 20 = 360

Answer: there are 360 5 cent coins in $18

Probably nothing. If the deal is still running, it may still be worth a dollar at the North West Queensland tourism office.

This coin has a metal value of around A$1,000 at the moment. Retail prices can range up to $1,500.

Australia as a nation did not come into existence until 1901, silver shillings denoted with the term "Commonwealth of Australia" were not struck until 1910.

Silver shillings were used in Australia prior to this date, however they were British, and were struck at the Royal Mint in London.

The British 1886 shilling is not particularly rare, and currently retails for around £250 in perfect "mint" condition.

A Commonwealth of Australia Ten Shilling note (Coombs/Wilson - serial AH 18), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $450 AUD. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from $25 to $200 AUD.

The Australian 50 cent coin from 1969 to present is a cupro-nickel coin with 12 sides.

The image of Queen Elizabeth II on all Australian coins from 1999 to present was designed by Ian Rank-Broadley (IRB).

Such a coin does not exist.

All Australian Threepences from 1910 to 1944 inclusive were made from sterling silver.

The first and only round Australian 50 cent coin was minted in 1966 and was withdrawn shortly afterwards due to the steep rise in the price of silver. The 1966 round 50 cent coin had an 80% silver content.

The next Australian 50 cent coin to be issued was in 1969. It was dodecagonal (12 sided) and made from a copper-nickel alloy.

He is featured on the Australian ten dollar note.

No. Australian coins, with the exception of the 50 cent coin which is 12 sided or dodecagonal, come in the regulation shape of "round".

The Australian 5 cent coin is certainly heading for the same fate as the 1 and 2 cent coins, with very little being able to be purchased for 5 cents.

However, something to keep in mind is that rounding will be in the order of up to 5 cents up or down, ie. something previously costing 5 cents, will cost 10 cents. This small increase does not seem much in respect of any one purchase, but over a period, will effectively reduce the purchasing power of your pay packet by a few dollars.

Currently, the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Royal Australian Mint have no plans to withdraw the Australian 5 cent coin.

Please check your coin and provide a denomination.

Victoria was the Queen of England or more accurately, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which did not include Austria.

Coins can be shiny without them being Proof.

A Proof coin is struck on specially prepared and polished dies. The finished coin will have a mirror like finish on the flat surfaces.

Proof coins are sold in protective packaging to protect the finish.

If the coin has maintained its finish, there will still be the high quality finish with no dents, scratches of other damage to mar the coin.

A proof coin that has been handled or circulated has lost its Proof finish and any collector appeal and value it may have had.

An Australian 1982 One Dollar note (Johnston/Stone - serial DPP, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $10 AUD. If it has circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from $1 to $3 AUD.

Such a coin does not exist. The first Australian 10 cent coin was issued in 1966.

Since there is a general trend away from small denomination banknotes to coins, quite a few countries would have changed to a Two Dollar coin.

To name but a few - Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands, Cook Islands, Fiji, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, Zimbabwe and probably many others.

Not all of these countries issue a Two Dollar coin regularly, but they do issue them sometimes as a commemorative.

There were only two years when an Australian Crown (Five Shilling) coins was minted, being 1937 and 1938.

If by "polished die" you mean a "Proof" coin, both the 1937 and 1938 coins were minted as Proof and general circulation coins.

These coins or medalettes were struck as a fund raising measure to help get the Australian contingent of soldiers to South Africa to support the British in the Boer War.

They seem to come in quite a few different varieties in different metals, with slightly different inscriptions, and some have ribbons attached similar to a war medal.

I cannot give you a valuation, but they are definitely a collectible.
