Coin Values

Here is a simple formula for recognizing American coins which are worth more than their face value.

Remember the year 1933 for 1 cent coins

Remember the year 1945 for 5 cent coins

Remember the year 1964 for 10 cent and 25 cent coins

All coins minted in those years or before are worth more than their face value.

All $1 coins, regardless of the year in which they were minted, are worth more than their face value.
