Australia has decimal coins that are now considered rare. The 2000 one dollar / ten cents mule and Incused 50c are coins that are featured. See ...

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.

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!

Surely the objective of a valid currency trade is to convert the lesser valued metal into the greater valued metal. Tradition has it that Gold is at the top of the currency heirarchy followed by Silver, then Bronze then Nickel, then Copper then Aluminium and conceptually plastic and paper come below that because of their lack of durability and replaceable purpose that gives it a true value in its own right not just because someone puts$10.00 on it and says its to be worth that much. So the question is if a country like Australia, which claims to be wealthy, is wealthy then shouldnt the state of its currency reflect that so that an international credibility to the value of the Australian coin is in place. Until decimal currency we used no nickel at all and a silver coint was indeed Silver (to about 92%) now we have no true silver and no true gold this doesnt seem quite right to me does someone have an answer for why it is?

Well, in the old days, people used to have gold money and silver money.

Gold money was used to buy high value items, while silver money was used to buy low value items.

People also use money to buy things in bulk, since it always cheaper to buy things in bulk.

A Denarius/Dinar coin usually worth of 10 times of another more cheaper coin.



Gold currently worth around US$26,5 per gram and silver currently worth around US$0,50 per gram.

If that's the case, then a 4.25 grams 22 k (karat/carat) gold coin will worth around US$103,25 in gold and a 3.0 grams pure silver coin will worth around US$1,5.

So if you buy a US$250 Nintendo Wii and 2 US$30 Wii games, it will be a total of US$310 or around 3 gold coins (12,75 grams).

And if you buy three items from a US$0,99 store, it will be a total of around US$3 (US$2,97) or around 2 silver coins (6 grams).

And of course a pure gold that is as heavy as a Nintendo Wii (around 2000 grams) will worth around US$53000 or around 513 gold coins and 22 silver coins (a total of around 2246,25 grams).

I think that someone once said that the U.S.A.'s debt to various parties is around 33000 billions US Dollars, it will worth around 320 billions gold coins (1,36 millions metric tons).



As for the current use of debt money (paper money, plastic money, and so on).

It will cause dependency, it's debt money, it's a certificate of debt. You need a guarantor for the debt.

It will be easier to manipulate, its value depend on how much the certificate guarantor is willing to reimbursed and also how much willing people are willing to buy that certificate of debt.

Due to smaller denominations, it causes more buying and selling, since people now buy and sell things in more smaller parts. How small people buy and sell can also be arranged by determing what kind of denominations are released to the public.

Anyway. A few leaders attempted to reintroduce silver coins into their countries, but they didn't make it. Kennedy was shot and Mahathir was replaced.

I doubt Kevin Rudd is willing to risk his position or even his own life.
