Know the coins in circulation in your country and their worth. This includes mint marks, manufacture years, and any unique qualities that may raise their value.

[{"selector":"#anim-14db7562-ce1b-4f50-b931-674e242b09bb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-456d026c-9e26-4506-82ef-8c8e274bbcd9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.21349%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2bd53f64-de06-4b06-866d-88b1c1f5941f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da934dea-9ae8-4193-b587-547d6cbe821b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.11688%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5ac7fa4b-42de-4883-8ea1-3615321e8ec1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Rarity and historical relevance make some coins more precious. Check the coin dates you get. Coins from certain years may be worth more than their face value.

[{"selector":"#anim-0ff0c768-94e0-4ac0-8f26-02bf47649efd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fdc45331-0e0a-46f3-b660-8109baff9209","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.21349%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ff3b17b-c155-4dc9-b06c-e35069a8c05d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e902190f-9d70-44cc-9df5-180483b97a4e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.11688%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b36da214-4a9c-4048-8ec1-3fc7cebcfacc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

A coin's mint mark might alter its value. Collectors may value coins made in certain places or with special marks.

[{"selector":"#anim-7ceb9414-fb15-491b-a664-dd0daa46d9c4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ecb5b8d4-b5ca-4d0a-b116-613325fb40b3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.21349%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0cb3557f-ad9a-4323-ac04-15bee70c731e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b5cd960-1443-4672-8e3e-daca446571aa","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.11688%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7d1558fd-f6bf-4605-a882-bf2b3aa68009 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Minting faults are prized by collectors. Look for misprints, double strikes, off-center strikes, and other irregularities that could boost a coin's value.

[{"selector":"#anim-a3e762ab-06b9-4296-a3fe-b92269000724","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1bd68283-9a6c-4150-9204-dfaf407a582a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.21349%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4bbc9dca-d4f3-4d60-988a-b0573be6b3c7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b15afe54-a357-4478-9fcc-8f969dea489a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.37662%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5de3550c-25c9-462d-803b-b8ab41aeda7e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Some coin varieties are more valued. Design, metal composition, and other elements may vary. Check if the coin you're looking at contains valuable variants.

[{"selector":"#anim-2eba20e5-8f19-42dc-a02d-e3b70dbc184d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7aacf0c8-ab4c-4867-a4ed-eb8bb5d9f93e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.21349%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-989513c3-a007-440e-92cd-d6ec9274c029","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b2922fc1-d621-4c9e-9328-f0c4d9d6e21f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.11688%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66ee8688-dc6e-47bd-80ee-e0300d50c0b7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Coin condition greatly affects value. Find coins with little wear. Collectible coins with scratches, dents, or discolouration are worth less.

[{"selector":"#anim-644d4fa2-108f-4b89-aeb6-bb2eadbe9b8a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3592c239-6b36-4b6a-aab6-45907cd82369","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c292e8bc-8c21-48fb-9efe-db4a72c7225e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.21349%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-41d331de-4024-41ca-aa23-4d22579f57e5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-efba8353-5739-4080-a416-79c906c0078a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.11688%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
