Royal Australian Mint

The Royal Australian Mint is a Commonwealth Government body that operates within the Treasury portfolio and is the exclusive maker of all circulating coins in Australia. The Mint is located on Denison St in the Deakin area of Canberra, Australia's federal capital city. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, inaugurated the Mint in 1965.

Prior to the establishment of the Australian Mint, Australian coins were produced at the Sydney Mint, the Melbourne Mint, and the Perth Mint. As a result, the Royal Australian Mint was the first mint in Australia to be independent of the British Royal Mint, which was a British government organization in the United Kingdom.

From a gallery, you may see the production of coins, learn about the history of Australian coins through a video presentation and multimedia displays, and find some of Australia's rarest coins. Looking for something different to do in Canberra? Create your own $1 coin. Titan, the mint's money-making robot, can also be met. Monday through Friday, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., take advantage of the free tour. A modest museum with a souvenir store is located in the Mint's lobby.
