This is about Malaysia coin only. If not I need to write a few thousand pages for every coin in the world. Anyway, the concept is almost the same for any coin but please check standard catalogue for your country first.
If you got 1 sen coin, please feel free to check for year 1968 and 1970. This is because the mintage for 1968 is only 10,500,000 and the price for UNC is around RM20 per piece. The mintage for 1970 is 2,535,000 and the price for UNC is around RM50. For year 1976, you need to check for bronze variety. It is extremly rare but totally worth it because the price is around RM800 per piece for UNC. For 1979, you need to check for nickel variety because the price for UNC is RM3,100. A rare item that only a few lucky person can find this.
1977 (mintage 10,609,162; UNC price=RM6) &
1982 (with extra "dot" on parliment house; UNC price=RM140).
For 10 sen, please don't ever missed 1971 coin because the mintage is only 32,326 and the price for UNC is around RM120.
1970 (mintage 1,054,000; UNC price=RM22),
1971 (mintage 9,958,000; UNC price=RM10),
1978 (mintage 6,847,000; UNC price=RM12) &
1994 (mintage 2,680,339; UNC price=RM45).
1969 (mintage 2,000,000; UNC price=RM150),
1979 (extra dot; UNC price=RM150), &
1995 (mintage 1,650,423; UNC price=RM20).
Don't forget to check for security thread for 1967, 1968 & 1969. The coin without the security thread is price around RM1,000 for UNC.
Next time when you want to used that 50 sen coin, 20 sen or 10 sen coin, please check the year it been minted first. If you don't know where to sale your item or how much the value of your item. Feel free to e-mail me with the real picture of your item.

Interesting!
can be rich even by 1 sen.
I never know about this, where you hear about it? The prize is more than it real value.
Next time I will check my coin for sure. Who know I can get extra money for it.
I have a question, is every 5 cent which in 1982 year got extra "dot" on parliment house? and also the 50 cent, is all the 50 cent which in 1979 year got extra dot ?
by the way, how to check the coin's mintage ?
Thanks for the comment.
fahmi087,
This is from Malaysia Banknote standard catalogue book. You can try to go to Steven Tan shop in Pertama Complex.
layli..,
not every 5 cent and 50 cent on that year got that extra dot. If you find one, consider yourself lucky. I myself only have seen 5 cent extra dot but it is not mine though. mintage is how many bank negara produce that coin for that year. It is not exactly correct figure though.
can tell me a 5cent coin of year 1898 worth how much? reply in my blog pls thx
I have 1 cent 1976 and 1 cent 1979 coin. How to initially check whether they are made of bronze or nickel?
Hi Anonymous!
Their color slightly different from the rest of the coin.
Hi ♥\♥χŞÄÿË♥/♥!
already reply in your blog. What coin is that exactly?
I need your help, I tried to look for the extra "dot" on the parliament House, but could not see it, I checked in the Ebay on the 1982 5 cents, got the picture there but just could not find the extra dot.
Hi my friend.
If you cannot find extra dot that mean that it is just a normal coin.
Good luck.
I have both 1976 and 1979 1sen coins. Both are in uncirculated condition. I noticed my 3 pcs 1979 coins to be darker in colour. I suppose they are made of nickel and the 1976 ones are lighter in colour bronze. If the value is as suggested in this site, I would like to sell them.
