When discussing the value of a “10 coin”, it’s important to clarify which currency is being referred to, as many countries have coins with a value equivalent to 10 units of their respective currencies.
Here are a few examples of 10-unit coins and their values in other currencies:
- United States: The dime is a coin worth ten cents, or one-tenth of a United States dollar.
- Eurozone (several European countries): The 10 euro cent coin has a value of one tenth of a euro. It is composed of Nordic gold. Currently, 1 euro is approximately 1.16 US dollars.
- Canada: The Canadian dime is a coin worth ten cents, [according to Wikipedia] . It’s the smallest Canadian coin physically, despite its higher face value compared to the penny.
- United Kingdom: The British decimal ten pence coin (10p) is worth one tenth of a pound sterling. Its value in US dollars fluctuates with the exchange rate.
- Japan: The 10 Japanese Yen coin is equivalent to about 10 cents in US dollars. It’s a useful coin for things like public payphones. As of today, 10 JPY is worth $0.0680 USD.
It’s also worth noting that some historical 10-unit coins, like the Liberty $10 Gold Coin from the US (1838-1907), are worth significantly more than their face value due to their gold content and rarity. For example, an 1881 $10 Gold Coin in circulated condition is worth between $1765 and $1845, according to the NGC Price Guide.
Which 10 cents are worth money?
From my experience, Most collectors are looking for attractive and high grade Mercury dimes. Your standard circulated Mercury is only worth its silver value. Silver Roosevelt Dimes (1946-1964) – Any Roosevelt dime minted before 1965 is going to have a 90% silver content. That is the only thing that makes these coins valuable.
Is a 10 yen coin worth anything?
Good point! A 1981 bronze Japanese 10 yen piece is worth less than $1 (USD) today (08/09/2025). There are VERY FEW 10 yen pieces from 1951 – current that are worth more than that. They are ALL VERY COMMON and still in circulation. Don’t take everything you read on ANY site like this to be 100% true or accurate.

Great question! The 10 cents coin has a value equivalent to 0.10 rands. Two versions of the coin exist: 10c coins issued from 1965 to 1969 feature the portrait of Jan van Riebeeck. 10c coins issued from 1970 to 1989 feature the national coat of arms.
