How old do coins need to be to be valuable?
There's no specific answer. A coin can be valuable because it's scarce or made of precious metals. Some old coins were minted in such large quantities that they're still common among collectors while other more modern coins were only made in small numbers and are worth a lot more. Even within the same date and denomination, values can differ radically. Among US coins, for example, a 1909 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia that doesn't have the designer's initials VDB can be bought for a few dollars because millions were struck. However only about 484,000 such coins that did have the designer's initials were made at San Francisco; these can be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Is it we'll be five years old or will be five years old?
The word we'll is a contraction for the prounoun 'we' and the verb (or auxiliary verb) 'will'. If the speaker and another person are both going to be five years old, then it is correct to say: We'll be five years old. (We will both be five years old.) If the speaker is referring to them self only or any other persons or things, it is correct to say: I will be five years old. You will be five years old. He will be five years old. She will be five years old. It will be five years old. They will be five years old.
Where do you find the value of some old coins?
It depends on what type of coins you have. If the coins are collectible coins, that is, old, high grade, and desirable, the best place to find the value of them is in the Red Book coin guide or take it in for an estimate by a coin dealer. On the other hand, if what you have are low-grade, common coins primarily for their bullion value, I will include Coinflation which is a website that shows the precious metal content of pre-1965 US coinage and Canadian coins in the related links. You might also want to check Ebay for what people are paying for the coins you have. Keep in mind that you should never clean old coins because that destroys the value of them.

What are three coins that are no longer in production?
Many coins are no longer made. Among US coins there are half-cents, two cent and three cent coins, half dimes, double dimes, and several denominations of gold coins. Any EU state that adopted the euro no longer makes its old national coins such as lira, marks, or francs. England, Australia, and New Zealand decimalized their coins in the 1960s and 1970s so old pence, shillings, florins, half-crowns, threepence, sixpence and other coins are no longer in use.

I think it is because in the old days the gold one, two and a half & five dollar coins were smaller because they were gold. Also, it simply costs more to make bigger coins.
Is the US nickel coin made of nickel?
It's actually made of 75% copper, but when it was introduced in 1866 it was one of the first US coins to have a significant amount of nickel in it. The other was a 3¢ piece. Because there were also silver 3¢ and 5¢ coins people started calling them "three cents silver", "three cents nickel", and so on. By the 1870s all except the nickel 5-cent piece had been discontinued but the old terms lived on for a while; sometimes the coins were called "five-cent nickels" which eventually was shortened to just plain "nickel".
What is the value of a 1897 five cent silver coin?
5 cent coins aren't made of silver (except for those minted in 1942-45), unless you're referring to the old half dime, but the mint stopped making those in 1873. An 1897 nickel in circulated condition is worth around $2.50, and over $80 in mint condition.

What is the most often used coin in New Zealand today?
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand does not issue all coins in all years. The RBNZ only issues sufficient coins to keep the number of coins in circulation at what it perceives to be the required quantities. Since the old 10, 20 and 50 cent coins were withdrawn in 2006, the issue of new coins since then is as follows - 10 cent coins - 205,600,000 total issued 20 cent coins - 196,600,000 total issued 50 cent coins - 90,200,000 total issued All issues of the 1 and 2 Dollar coins are potentially still in circulation. The issue of 1 and 2 Dollar coins since 1990 is as follows - 1 Dollar coins - 92,700,000 total issued 2 Dollar coins - 88,050,000 total issued Damaged and worn coins are withdrawn from circulation as they are returned to the bank. The 10 and 20 cent coins are relatively recently issued, so not many would have been withdrawn yet. According to the RBNZ figures, it would seem that the 10 cent coin is the most used closely followed by the 20 cent coin.
