Noticeboard

In light of current COVID-19 health warnings, the Royal Australian Mint will be closed to visitors from 5.00 pm today until further notice. As an essential service, the Mint's factory will continue to operate as normal.

Purchases can still be made via our online store https://eshop.ramint.gov.au or by calling 1300 652 020. Existing orders will be processed and dispatched as normal.

The Royal Australian Mint has recently delayed the first stage of the Eureka! Roadshow and suspended Coin Swap events due to the unfolding Coronavirus situation.

At this time we wish to assure our loyal and dedicated collectors that the Mint will resume Roadshow and Coin Swap events once they are deemed safe for our staff and attendees. At which time the Mint will strive to visit as many towns and cities across each state and territory as is achievable within the time-frame.

The Royal Australian Mint has temporarily closed its upstairs Gallery to the public in light of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) health warnings. All other areas of the Mint will remain open including the retail shop and takeaway food and beverages from the Mint’s Café. This change is effective immediately and will continue until further notice. Thank you for your understanding.

International orders deliveries from the Royal Australian Mint are currently experiencing delays due to the coronavirus COVID19.

Australia Post is working with partner airlines and other postal operators to move items as quickly as possible. However due to the ever-changing situation, delays may occur in all destination countries.

Medical experts have confirmed that cash, including coins is safe to use – there is no evidence that either coins or cash spread COVID-19.

The World Health Organization has rejected reports that it warned COVID-19 could be spread through handling cash. WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said, ‘WHO did NOT say banknotes would transmit COVID-19, nor have we issued any warnings or statements about this.’

The Mint’s free guided tours and public programs have been suspended until further notice. The Mint will remain open to the public during normal business hours and visitors are welcome to take a self-guided tour. These measures have been taken to avoid gathering larger groups of people in one area.

Due to the unfolding Coronavirus situation, the Royal Australian Mint has cancelled the first Stage of the Eureka! Roadshow, which was scheduled to visit Tasmania next week.

The health and safety of staff, customers and visitors continues to be the Mint’s first priority.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this change and will keep you informed of any future developments through our social media channels and website.

The Mint remains open to the public and all other events and programs are operating as normal.
