he Royal Australian Mint is a Division of the Commonwealth Department of the Treasury with responsibility for producing circulating and numismatic coins for Australia.

The Mint was established in Canberra in 1965, one year prior to Australia’s changeover to decimal currency and since 1983 has been the sole supplier of Australia’s circulating coin requirements. (Between 1965 and 1983 the Mint’s production of Australian circulating coinage was supplemented by production from Britain’s Royal Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint.) Since its establishment, the Mint has produced in excess of over 11 billion Australian decimal coins.

The Mint also produces a range of high quality collector coins (numismatic coins) which are sold through an extensive mail order operation, e-commerce, a network of domestic and international coin dealers, selected Australia Post outlets and the Mint shop. In addition, the Mint produces a number of Australian medals and awards, as well as tokens, medallions and jewellery items. The Mint is also a major Canberra tourist attraction with a public gallery and shop that have attracted an average of 150,000 visitors over the last three years.

The Mint has produced circulating and collector coins for a number of other countries in past years.

The Mint is committed to upholding its reputation as one of the leading producers of quality coins in the world and to achieving business excellence.
