Hi Belinda, here's some info about the 50c round coin (and pic of one for those who don't remember the round coin!)....and current value today would depend on year of issue, etc - check out this website for details....http://www.peterstrich.com.au/oz_coins/f ifty_cents/fifty_cents.htm
I've seen some on EBAY for sale at a "buy it now price" of $9.95 and one winning bid paid $14.95.
We happened to find this while dining out and wondering if its worth anything.. I did a little research, its been tough narrowing it down.. Please dont tell me its worth only .50 cents... I saw a coin like it going for $50.00 on a coin collectors site.
From 1969 to date all Australian 50 cent pieces are 12 sided. With a mintage of 24,886,000 it is far from scarce. The book value is .40 in grade very fine, .50 in grade extra fine and $2 in uncirculated. there is also a proof version valued at $7.75. In reality if the coin is circulated it can be found here in the USA for around .25 cents in a coin dealers world coin box. I have no idea what you saw for $50 but it sure was not this coin.
Wich other Australian coins is valuble
The 1966 50 Cent piece is made of silver, and has about .36 Troy ounces of that precious metal, worth perhaps US $4.50 today. The other coins, if in average circulated condition, are essentially just worth their face value, if used in Australia.
The 1977 and 1988 coins are both commemorative coins, minted in copper-nickel, but are fairly common. The 1988 had a modestly low mintage of 2-3 million, and might have some modest value - it has a retail catalog value of about US $2 - if in unused, as minted condition.

Australian 50 Cent Coins : 2010 Australia Day 50c
Celebrating Australia Day in 2010 the Royal Australian Mint in collaboration with the Australia Day Council has released a commemorative cupro-nickel 50c coin into circulation. With a minimum of 5 million coins planned to enter circulation, expect to find one of these in your change at the shops any day now.
It wasn't until as recently as 1994 that the whole of Australia has consistently celebrated Australia Day on the 26th of January as a public holiday. It was on the 26th January 1788 that The First Fleet from England landed at Sydney Cove and raised the Union Jack founding the Colony of New South Wales. Whilst not always called Australia Day, the 26th of January has historically been used for celebrations and commemorations. It has been known as Foundation Day, Anniversary Day and also Invasion Day.
...Australian 50 Cent Coins : 2005 Melbourne Commonwealth Games 2006 50c
"United by the moment" was the motto for the 18th Commonwealth Games held in Melbourne, Australia in 2006. Every 4 years since 1930 (excepting during WWI in the 1940's) nations of the Commonwealth compete together in events such as aquatics, gymnastics, cycling and shooting. For eleven days in March 2006 spectators and athletes flocked to Melbourne venues to watch and compete. Australia won 84 gold medals finishing at the top of the medal tally board for all the Commonwealth competitors.
To celebrate this event the Royal Australian Mint released a commemorative fifty cent into circulation. Just to confuse you the coin is dated 2005 on the obverse but features "Melbourne 2006 XVIII Commonwealth Games" on the reverse. This coin as shown above was designed by 16 year old Victorian Kelly Just who won a nation-wide secondary school competition to design the reverse. Kelly's original design was then sculpted by Vladimir Gottwald but the coin bears the initals "KJ". Kelly's reverse design depicts animals mimicking athletes as they are competing in the Games symbolic of the embracing spirit of the games and Australia's unique fauna.
