santiago Posted November 2, 2011 hard to say, none are what you would call mint. mint being unsoiled by hands and dirt so forth. a coin collectors forum would provide accurate answers more so than here, even though we are a broad bunch this is probably not so ethno related, not that that really matters but perhaps the target audience is smaller than a large collectors forum. ebay can help, also just type the currency no# into googs for a quick search. for example depending on whether the US bill of a dollar is a misprint or not can effect the value 1000 fold. so thats it really. mint condition and misprints are the real earners. the real problem is with so much competion in stamps, coins and money collecting it really isnt worth it anymore. seems you do have some aussie 5 dollar bills in there but the value for them alone on the pics i can see really would not exceed $7 at most for that $5 bill. as a complete guesstimate i dont think the whole colection would exceed more than $100 dollars au. but for example you really need to do a search on the series ie serial no's, i would start on the US dollars for starters.

Evil Genius Posted November 2, 2011 Hi Volle, cant say for sure as you would need a world coin and bills catalouge back to the 50´s or so and i dont have one atm. Dont think they are of any value because they are in rough shape for a collector. You need to check the Dates and and divide all the older ones from the newer ones. I saw some from the 1960´s that could be worth something but it depends on the number those were printed in and the value on the bill. The more value is printed on them, the more expensive they are. Its actually pretty logical as there are always few people who put away a 1000 dollar bill for example. The US Dollar you got there is still valid i think. bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psylo Posted November 2, 2011 I was given a round 50c piece a few weeks ago that was dated the year decimal currency was introduced to Australia (1966). No idea how many years they produced a round 50c coin for, and I hope its not worth much because I lost it several days later (probably gave it as a 20c piece). Ah well. Note for overseas members. The aussie 50c is typically a dodecadon shape, not round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted November 2, 2011 The coins could have a value greater than face if they contain silver or gold, and the paper bills will soon serve as a substitute for toilet paper, and beyond that your collection is worth only what someone else will pay for it. If it were me, I'd convert it all to .999% or .9999% pure silver coins such as the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf. The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf has a certified silver purity of .9999 by The Royal Canadian Mint, making these coins the highest purity silver coin struck by a government mint.

cactuscarl Posted November 2, 2011 They stopped making those round 50 cent pieces pretty quick because they are mostly silver and they were worth more in silver so ppl were melting them down they are probably rather rare these days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanVolle Posted December 26, 2011 Isn't minting means that you manufacture coins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nabraxas Posted December 31, 2011 minting means to manufacture coins, "mint condition" means the coin is the same as it was when it left the mint, ie: clean & shiny Often collectors only want coins in mint condition, unless it's something extremely rare. The 10 rupee note you have would probably be worth about 20 cents, unless it's a misprint or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted January 1, 2012 I was given a round 50c piece a few weeks ago that was dated the year decimal currency was introduced to Australia (1966). No idea how many years they produced a round 50c coin for, and I hope its not worth much because I lost it several days later (probably gave it as a 20c piece). Ah well. Note for overseas members. The aussie 50c is typically a dodecadon shape, not round. They are worth around 8 - 10 dollars lol. I got a heap of coins from my grandfathers collection when he passed away years ago, my mum also has a large collection but i havent looked at either lot in years. My fav out of my mums collection is a couple of old Australian paper 5 dollar notes that are printed with the wrong colour, im sure they would be worth a bit.
