The Loonie is the common name for the one dollar coin . Its name comes from the image of the Canadian Loon on the obverse. The "twoonie" is often used for the two dollar coin even though it has a group of polar bears on the back, not a loon.
WhaT IS a 1932 Canada penny worth?
Between 75 cents and $20, 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.
What is the value of an 1894 Canadian penny?
Canada didn't issue nickels until 1922. If you're referring to a silver 5-cent coin, its value as of 10/2013 ranges from about $7 in very worn condition to around $100 in almost-uncirculated condition.
Does a 1963 Canadian nickel have any silver in it?
No. Canadian 5¢ coins haven't contained any silver since 1921.
The 11-sided design was chosen to help make the coin easy to tell apart from other coins, especially to help people who are visually impaired or blind. Those of us who are sighted can tell by its color, but for someone who relies on touch the 11 sides distinguish it from similar sized pieces such as quarters and halves.
What is the oldest canadiane penny?
Dominion of Canada pennies were first minted in 1870. The earlier Province of Canada pennies were first minted in 1858.
What is the difference between silver proof sets and regular proof set?
I'm assuming you're familiar with the different metals used to make coins. When the Mint eliminated silver from circulating dimes, quarters, and halves back in 1965, proof coins were also switched to the same cupro-nickel "sandwich" composition. Unfortunately cupro-nickel is a harder alloy than the old 90% silver alloy so the new proof coins never struck up quite as sharp as their older counterparts.
In response to collectors' demands (and to make more profit) in 1992 the Mint re-introduced proof sets that had the dime, quarter, and half struck in 90% silver. You can now buy either type of proof set each year, although the silver ones obviously cost a lot more than the cupro-nickel ones.
How much will a 1941 Canadian penny be worth in 20 years?
Due to the recent market uprising the penny will be worth approximately 50k in 20 years and also since they do not produce them anymore.
How much is 15 pounds of nickels?
Coins are weighed in grams so it's necessary to convert US pounds to grams. Each pound is 453.592 gm so 3 pounds is 1360.77 gm.
A US nickel weighs 5.00 gm so 3 pounds would be 1360.77 / 5.00 = 272 nickels, rounded to the nearest whole number. Each coin is worth 5 cents so the total value would be 272*5 = 1360 cents, or $13.60
Modern Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm so the calculations are 1360.77 / 3.95 = 344 coins worth $17.20
There are really several answers to this question, dealt with below. Legal tender refers to lawful money issued by the central bank or mint of the country. In the US all coins ever issued by the Mint for commerce are still considered legal tender, worth their face value. In numismatic circles the word "coin" is limited to legal tender items, excluding many, but not all, bullion coins, especially those that, in place of a denomination, list something like "one ounce .999 fine silver." Several countries, including the USA and Canada, issue legal tender bullion coins, which are worth more in other ways than their legal tender value. Coins are made of various materials which have intrinsic value as well. Until 1965, legal tender coins issued in the US were based on their melt value; for example, a "silver dollar" contained one dollar's worth of silver, and a nickel contained 5 cents' worth of nickel and copper. The US went off the precious metals standard in 1965, making the "dollar" the baseline value rather than making the dollar based on the price of silver. This caused many older coins to have increased metal value, which resulted in many coins from the early 1960's to be melted for resale at bullion value. That's how the term "melt value" came about; this is the value of a coin melted down to a quantity of metal. Today's coins in the US are experiencing an interesting issue. Due to the market effects on the values of various metals, including nickel and copper, some coins again contain metal worth more than their face value. Because of that legislation was passed mandating that US coins could not be melted for resale as bullion. With that, though, many older coins have bypassed the melting pot and hold intrinsic precious metal value. These include the "bullion coins" issued by the US Mint, as well as mints from other countries. Third party mints often will produce round silver disks, known in numismatic circles as "silver rounds," that carry intrinsic value due to their metal content. More often than not, though, coins and bullion will have a collectible value. Basically this is the price the market is willing to pay for a particular type of coin. Most bullion items that are not legal tender have little collectible value beyond their melt value. Non-circulating legal tender coins, including legal tender bullion coins, often have collectible values in excess of their melt value. Rarely is the collectible value of a coin less than its melt value. Normally the "value" of a collectible coin is the largest of the three values mentioned above. Usually this is the collectible value, especially since the collectible value usually factors the coin's melt value into the price. In most cases the collectible value of a coin is based on the law of supply and demand. Rarer coins — coins that had a significantly lower than average production or coins that have not survived well to the present day — tend to have lower supply than their demand, though the demand may also be low. This means that an older coin that survives in greater quantity may actually have a lower value than a newer coin with a lower production. The condition of a coin is also a vital factor in determining the value of a coin. What coins are worth money? They all are. How much, though, depends on a large variety of conditions.
What is the value of a 1994 Canadian 5 cent piece with the markings kg on it worth?
It's worth 5 cents Canadian.
The P indicates it was made at the Philadelphia Mint, a D would indicate it was made at the Denver mint.
It's worth about about 10 cents
Could you explain what you mean? If you want a basic definition, it's a 10 cent coin about the same size as a U.S. dime. Most bear the image of the famous schooner "Old Bluenose" on the obverse. The reverse carries the monarch's picture, Elizabeth II since 1953.
If taken from circulation, a Canadian dime is worth about 9 cents U.S. at current exchange rates.
What about a 1988 dime that has orchid like flowers on the back instead of the schooner
How much copper in a 1994 penny Canadian?
Canadian pennies dated 1982-1996 weigh 2.5 grams and contain 98% copper, with 1.75% tin and 0.25% zinc.
How many nickels are in a pound?
A US pound is 453.6 grams.
US nickels weigh 5.00 gm so there are 453.6/5.00 = 91 nickels, to the nearest whole number.
Modern Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm so there are 453.6/3.95 = 115 nickels, again rounded.
Why isn't a 1986 Canadian nickel non-magnetic?
Unlike their American counterparts, Canadian nickels were struck in either steel or almost pure nickel from 1922 to 1942 and from 1944 to 1981. Both of those metals are attracted to a magnet.
US nickels are actually 75% copper, so they don't stick to a magnet.
