Australian Coin Book

I want to know the value of my decimal and few pre decimal coins!

***It could also be at great help, if someone could suggest a good and easy to use sight to value my coins***

Thanks :)

There are several books available though I can not say which is best:
Renniks Australian Coin & Banknote Values
Layman's Guide to Australian Coin Values
Pocketbook Guide to Australian Coins and Banknotes
Australian Coins, Notes & Medals

I am not sure where you are located, but you should be able to find a good coin dealer near you. The second link is a coin dealer search engine. The last link has cross referenced values by clicking on: "Click here for Coin Values!" at the top of the page. I hope that helps.

quot;Silver Coinquot; from their album A Book Like This, played live at The Rocks on Australia Day, January 26th 2007.

when i was born i got given a lil book that had 1 of every coin in it of that year (1994) and i was wondering its value now if i sold it and the value in 25-50 years time.
note. the coins are sealed and never have been touched by any one out side the mint.
thanks guys

No one will be able to predict future values though they will probably be higher in 25 to 50 years. I found three different mint sets with various versions. There are apparently also some relatively common error sets with somewhat of a premium value. Please understand these are retail values. If you were to try and sell it to a coin dealer, they would pay you less (perhaps 40% less) and resell it for these prices. I hope that helps.

1994 Year of the Family (6 coin) set: $65AU for the proof set, $35AU for the uncirculated set, apparently there is an uncirculated wide date error set which is worth $75AU, and an "off set packaging" error mint set worth $100AU.

1994 Gumnut Baby mint set (6 coin) $60AU for the uncirculated set, $80AU for the wide date (50 cent coin) error uncirculated set.

1994 Masterpieces in silver Explorers (Part 2) sterling silver proof set (5 coin).

I have a lot of old Australian coins ( pre decimal and decimal) which were given to me years ago by my grandfather.

Can anyone suggest a good book , or better still a good website, that can tell me the current value of old Australian coins? (taking into account their condition?)

I know there is a great book about this ( i saw it years ago) but i cant remember its name or author! DUH.

http://www.krause.com/static/coins.htm - had some excellent publications out on world coins.

I use
http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/defau lt.asp
to identify my coins. There are many other collectors there. Some even specialize in world coins.

Good luck!

i need to know for a scrap book if you can please also help by telling me what some other coins are worth from places like france,indonesia,malaysia,greece,hongkong,paupa new guinea,phillipines,kenya,japan,china,sweden,swizteland,germany, america and soloman islands and newzealand.p.s in aus dollars

It's wortless because are not in circulation anymore and no one will change it.

On 1 July 2005, the leu was revalued at the rate of 10,000 "old" lei (ROL) for one "new" leu (RON), thus psychologically bringing the purchasing power of the leu back in line with those of other major Western currencies. The term chosen for the action was "denominare", similar to the English "denomination", to signify not a conversion, but rather a total reinvention.

So 5000 ROL became 0.5 RON = 0.255645136 Australian dollars

last night i was in my room reading a book and this spider crawled across my wall. It was about the size of an Australian 50c coin and it was white. Does anyone know what kind of spider this could be?
oh yeh the spider didnt have a big bulge on its ass like some spiders do and it wasnt thick white it was kindof see through white--but it wasnt a dady long legs it was thicker then that

Maybe a Flower spider, aka Crab spider, although they would usually be outside the house. It's not as big as you described either, but I had a look and couldn't find any other pic's of spiders that were white and partly transparent. Here's a pic.

To the other poster, an Aust. 50 cent piece is 1 1/4 inch wide, or 3 cm.
