In quantity, steel cents in average circulated condition sell on eBay for
10-20 cents each (perhaps $10 per roll of 50), often even with shipping
included. Good quality uncirculated coins often sell for $5 & up. If
nothing else, they're a fascinating reminder of a time when copper was
badly needed for the war effort, & thus steel was substituted for copper
in pennies. Nickel - which is used to harden steel - was also a vitally
needed metal, so 5 cent pieces were struck in a mix of silver & a couple
of other metals during WWII.

Most modern world coins are of relatively little value, & this one
probably is, but the Standard Catalog of World Coins (below), available in
many libraries, can help you find out for sure.
