Yes, there is a strong collector base worldwide for British Commonwealth coins. However, coins bring vastly different values depending on their type, date, condition and demand from collectors in the market place.
For example, all of the pre-WWII Rhodesian coinage is greatly in demand in uncirculated condition as is much of the proof coinage minted up until 1970. You would have to be very specific to get an idea of what your coins are worth. I suggest a trip to the public library to check on recent catalog prices. I would pay close attention to how the coins are graded. That is the key to their value.
