<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1663355, member: 25270"]You can have a whole separate argument on the meaning of "modern," and people have done so here. Let's say you mean after World War II, which is a good definition in my book. There are some that are worth money, like the 1951 British Penny, 1946 Australian penny, some New Zealand coins from the 1950s and 60s whose exact dates I can't say off the top of my head, some French coins from the 1950s, etc. These are mostly valuable because they are very low mintage and they are series that people collect. The only way to really know is to get a Krause World Coin book and browse through and see what's valuable. You just learn over time. You are unlikely to find these valuable coins in bulk eBay purchases because they are valuable because they are rare, but you might get lucky because a lot of times the people selling them don't know what the key dates are either. Many people search for silver and assume anything else is junk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
