    I've got a few Australian Pre Decimal Pennies and halfpennies and i have no idea what they are worth today.
    Any advice?

    When I was look at values for my pennies and half pennies, I was disappointed to learn that most are worth little to nothing. Still fun to collect though.

    Here's I guide I found from a quick google search. Seems to be helpful for 1911-1936 pennies.

    Yeah none of those sadly. Will look out. I also know that 1937's are super valuable.

    Even copper 1 and 2 cents are a bit of fun.
    In a second hand shop one day I brought a box full of them for $5 bucks, later in the day when I was counting them it turned out there was about $7.50 worth of change in there.
    Buying decimal currency for under face had me feeling pretty good. :p

    Excluding those years noted, those copper pennies / half pennies are probably worth about $1.00 each. Seems to be the price I've seen bulk go for on SS and was what I got for each when I sold a load last year.

    Were not these produced by 2 different mints: Melbourne and Perth?
    For some some years, the RM Perth branch coins have low mintages.
