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 : 1981 Royal Wedding Charles and Diana 50c
Prince Charles is the eldest child of Queen Elizabeth II, first in line to the throne and potentially the next King of England and the Commonwealth. Nuptials between Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer took place on 29th July 1981 (which was named a national holiday in celebration) in front of a worldwide TV audience of 750 million people. It was labelled a fairytale wedding as Diana was the first British commoner to marry an heir to the throne since the 1500's. The couple were dominant public figures constantly under scrutiny from royal watchers. They later had 2 children, 2nd in line to the throne Prince William and 3rd in line Prince Harry.
In Australian up until as close to the event as June 1981 it wasn't clear that a commemorative issue was even going to be released with industrial action at the Royal Australian Mint affecting coin issues and the minting process. However, after keeping their plans under wraps the RAM finally announced that to celebrate this royal marriage the Royal Mint in Wales was to strike a commemorative 50c piece to circulate in Australia. Designed by Stuart Devlin the reverse of this coin features profiles of Charles and Diana (known as jugate) facing left with the legends reading "HRH The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer Fifty Cents". This was an official design given the Royal seal of approval by the Queen. The obverse bears the Arnold Machin portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II (used from 1966 through to 1984). 20 million of these 15.5 gram cupro-nickel coins entered circulation but they are not that easy to find in your change as a lot have been hoarded in money boxes and jars. It's not uncommon to find high grade coins because if this hoarding and they don't gain much premium if any over their face value of 50c.
