Canada followed the trend of most other major countries that have replaced their low-denomination notes with coins. The main reasons were cost and efficiency.

Because prices have risen over time (see the Inflation category) more and more bills were needed to make even small purchases. That forced countries to print ever-increasing numbers of bills and those bills wore out more quickly due to greater use. While coins cost more to produce they have a much longer lifespan, are easier to count and process, and eliminate the need for things like bill-readers on vending machines and in subway and bus systems, so overall they have a much lower life-cycle cost.

The situation in the US is instructive. For various social and political reasons that country has refused to eliminate its $1 bill and has failed to promote the use of its $1 coins. Nearly half of all bills printed each year in the US are $1 notes; they wear out in less than 2 years on average, and the Treasury is finding it difficult to dispose of them in an environmentally safe way due to the inks used. Various organizations have estimated the cost savings of a $1 coin vs. $1 bill production at $500 million to $1 billion per year.

1900-D is not a valid date/mint for a U.S. penny. All pennies in 1900 were made at the Philadelphia Mint, so have no mintmark. If your coin has a "D" on it, it must have been added after the coin left the mint. 1900 Indian Head Cent values : heavily worn -- $1.00 medium worn -- $2.00 lightly worn -- $7.00 uncirculated -- $20.00 to $25.00

It's worth about 2 cents for the copper.

That coin commemorates 100 years of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (the Mounties). It's worth 25 cents.

Depending on many different variations of this year's production of pennies, the value can range from 2 cents to $2.50. In the future please add a description or condition of the coin so I can value it more precisely for you.

All Australian coins carry an image of the British monarch on the obverse. There is an Australian design and the denomination on the reverse. The latin terms relating to the monarch were discontinued with the changeover to decimal currency in February 1966.

All 1941 US and Canadian cents are bronze.

The only steel US cents are dated 1943, and were made to save copper for the war effort. Canada used bronze during the war but switched to steel in 2002 as a money-saving move.

This is called a 'Lamination' error and a statehood quarter with this error is worth $50.00.

They're both only worth face value.

Mostly coin collectors and jewelers.

All you've done is told us that you have a coin from somewhere in the British empire dated 1950. We need to know the denomination, the country of origin and the condition for us to tell you the value.

The Canadian RCMP quarter is from around the 1960's it is worth 25 cents in bad condition and $1.25 in mint condition.

They can vary greatly in value depending on rarity. A little grand rapids post token sold for $13,000 at action in 2013. The brass Made Beaver tokens can be $500 or more each. While others common HBC tokens have very little value. Consult with a numismatic familiar with HBC tokens for details on specific token values.
