Canadian Coins

Each toonie is 1.8mm thick. There are 25 toonies per roll so that's 1.8mm x 25 = 4.5cm long. Converted to inches that's 1.77 inches, just shy of 2 inches.

This doesn't take into account the paper folded at each end to hold the toonies in. So likely, if rolled correctly, the toonies would be about 2".

This is a standard issue cent, although older dates are being removed from circulation because they are solid bronze and contain slightly more than their face value in copper. Still, they're only worth 1 cent Canadian, or about 0.85 cents U.S.

How much a 1942 Canadian dime is worth depends on its condition. You can expect to fetch between 3.20 US dollars and 24 US dollars for such a coin.

You would have to take the coin to a dealer or appraiser. Several different varieties of this coin were struck with values ranging from a few times face, up to over $1,200 . The only way to be sure is to have it examined in person.

The last year for the Canadian silver 5-cent piece was 1921, except those coins weren't called nickels because they didn't contain any nickel. The Canadian nickel (actually made of nickel) was then introduced in 1922.

Between five cents and $3.40, depending on condition. Next time, if you include more information (the coin's approximate condition, if it is circulated or not, etc.) I can give you a more precise value.

$100.

it would be worth about $195 maybe more but it also depends on what the condition of the coin is

If a large cent : In circulated condition, about a dollar. A nice uncirculated one is worth about $15.00 If a small cent : In circulated condition, about 20 cents. A nice uncirculated one is worth about $10.00

I acually bought one recently and did 2 hours of research and I found out that a 1969 50 cent coin is worth more than you would expect the price being: 778 Canadian dollars

Look at the reverse. If there is NOT a small dot under the date it is worth anywhere from 53 cents to $15, depending on condition. If there IS a dot then this means you have a penny that is worth over $400,000. There are less than ten known to exist.

Unfortunately that's an almost impossible question to answer. There have been many spectacularly valuable coins struck over the last 200+ years. No one has a way to track every coin ever minted so you can't be 100% certain, of course, but it's a good bet that virtually none of them remain in circulation today.

The most recent errors that may still be out there are worth less than $75, but at least there is a chance of finding one of these:

> An Iowa quarter with an extra leaf on one of the corn ears

> A presidential dollar that is missing the mottoes and date that are supposed to appear on its edge.

A British 1966 bronze Penny (Elizabeth II), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £0.50 GBP. If it has been circulated, not much.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

All Canadian coins have variations of that motto, so more information is needed. Could you please post a new question with the coin's date and a couple of words about how worn it is? Those factors are more important in determining a coin's value.

Between 5 cents and $3, depending on condition. Next time, if you include more information (the coin's approximate condition, if it is circulated or not, etc.) I can give you a more precise value.

ranges from 100 up 450.00 depending on condition and what actual coin you have. some liberty coins from usa around that time are worth 125.00 ish but yes worth something

Depends on condition: Very Good - US$2.50 Fine - $5.00 Very Fine - $14.00 Extremely Fine - $55.00 Uncirculated (MS-60) - $325.00 Uncirculated (MS-63) - $850.00 Proof - $2,500.00

The animals on the Australian 1 cent coin are the feather tailed glider and on the 2 cent coin the frilled neck lizard.

Cents and nickels were struck in base metals, so they're generally only worth face value unless they're in uncirculated condition.

Dimes through dollars were struck in both 50% silver composition and 99.9% nickel. The nickel coins will stick to a magnet and are again only worth face value in average condition. The half-silver versions will be worth more than face value but it depends on (a) the current price of silver and (b) how many coins you have. With silver at US$15/oz, they're worth about 6 to 8 times face value at retail but expect to receive only about half that from a metals dealer.

In the US, yes. Bullion dealers do it all the time, to the tune of several million ounces in 1979 and 1980 alone (during the big silver rush) http://coins.about.com/b/2008/03/12/coin-dealer-ethics-melting-coins-for-profit.htm . There's speculation the government would in fact prefer the coins go away, to increase sales of mint produced bullion coins. The bullion value of silver coins is referred to as their "melt" value--what the silver and copper will be worth once it's melted down.

It's not worth doing unless you're a recognized producer with a known hallmark, otherwise you're going to have a coin silver ingot--90% silver, 10% copper--as opposed to fine silver --.999 fine--and any bar you produce will have to have a paid appraisal before it can be sold. Also, the 1979-1980 melt alone made a lot of fairly common type coins rare. They weren't deemed special enough to worry about, and now they're much harder to find. This has impacted on collectors.

Unless you have some specific art project in mind, you're better off leaving them intact. Bullion dealers recognize them and have "bid" and "ask" rates on them. You can still buy them in "face" bags, with the face value of the coin listed (Usually $100, $250, $500 and $1000 face), but sold at current silver plus ask price.

There is a recent law that prohibits the melting of pennies and nickels for their bullion value--they currently contain more metal value than face price. You may still use them for artistic material for projects, but you may not melt them for salvage.

Unless it is uncirculated it is worth face value.

Without knowing details like date and condition, there's no way to give a specific answer. It's worth at least 50 cents.

The 1979 Canadian penny was actually released in relatively lower numbers therefore increasing its current value. Depending on the quality of the coin, the 1979 penny has been known to go for as much as $25.00, this is of course for a mint condition coin. For a better estimate of the value of your coin, it is always recommended to have your penny appraised by a professional.

The value, as always, depends on the quality and grade of the coin. In F12 grade a 1940 Canada 25 cent piece is worth about $2.75 ranging up to MS65 at $15.00. If the coin grades below F12 it is probably worth around face value or the value of the silver content, which ever is higher. Always have coins graded by a professional. In cases like this it would most likely not be cost effective to do so but if you want to sell it, label it as ungraded and take good pictures so the buyer can judge for themselves. Never label a coin as an exact grade unless it is done so by a professional.

1964 was the last year that circulating U.S. coins were struck in 90% silver. Half-dollars were struck in 40% silver during 1965-69. None were resleased for circulation in 1970, and in 1971 they too were converted to cupronickel clad coinage. Special "prestige" proof sets continue to be struck in 90% silver but of course these coins don't (or at least shouldn't) circulate.
