In 2009, the Royal Australian Mint completed its refurbishment project and opened its new and modern tourist facilities. Admission and parking are free and tours are self guided.
For a close-up view of our factory floor, look through our floor to ceiling observation windows. From this birds-eye view you can watch Australian coins being made and see one of the world's strongest robots hard at work.
Our new theatrette presentation will take you behind the scenes at the Mint and will explain the coining process to you. There are also early, rare and historically significant coins on show from our National Coin Collection as well as displays illustrating the history of Australian coins.
There are also a number of TV screens in the foyer which display footage from cameras within the building, like the view of our giant robot tipping drums of coin blanks. The footage is live on weekdays and pre-recorded on weekends and public holidays. In the Coin Shop you can make your own coin (for the cost of $3 per coin) on our visitor press and don't forget to check out our souvenirs, latest collector coin issues and really unique gift ideas.
The Royal Australian Mint is open:
Monday - Friday: 9am to 4pm
Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays: 10am to 4pm
Please note we are closed on Christmas Day and Good Friday.
Admission is free and tours are self-guided. Please allow approximately 45 minutes for your Mint visit.
The factory operating hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm. Weekend operations are dependent on business requirements. Staff numbers on the production floor may be reduced during rostered staff break times at 10.00am, 12.00pm and 2.30pm.
