1994 and 1989 refer to the number of $1 coins not the year, so 1,994 x $1 coins is $1994 which is more than $1989

Exactly right! They are worth more, because there are 5 more of them! (It's the same as asking "why are 9 coins worth more than 4 coins" but careful choosing of the number causes confusion)
