pretty interesting looking at some of these
I never knew there use to be circular 50c coins
and its weird how only 8000 $1 coins were made in 1992 which would make them rare i guess :O

A lot of people think they are quite rare (which they arent) - they are worth $10 - $15 due to the silver content.

There are quite a few dates where the only coins produced are commemoratives for collectors.

enoil, everytime you buy something, do you check if you have something good from your change?

What number of coins produced would classify a coin as rare? :)

I'd say less than 1,000 would make a coin "rare". But rarity doesnt always correspond with value. The popularity of a series is usually the key factor when it comes to value. For example, the rarest Lincoln Penny is the 1909-S VBD with about 500,000 minted. However, they are worth about $1,500 in average condition because Lincoln Pennies are so popular. In contrast, the key date of the Vatican 2 Lira series is the 1929 with 10,000 made, yet they are only worth $100 in top condition because they arent popular.

Have you ever asked shop assistants for change in coins rather than notes?
In the past, yes.
