Royal Australian Mint: A world of coins

Australian coins are made by the Royal Australian Mint. Visit the mint to learn more about the world of coins. The mint is not very big and has two floors. The first floor has a shop and a café. Here, you can learn about the history of coins and see some special coins (such as Olympic coins and coins made for special festivals) and Chinese zodiac coins. The second floor is an exhibition hall where you can overlook the coin production area. Next to the glass window is a multimedia machine that shows the production process, from design, mold making, die casting, and inspection to packaging. The best way to learn about coin making is to take a guided tour. The guide will tell you the complete history of Australian coin making and take you to the factory to see the coin making process.
