Noticeboard

If you have placed an order with the Royal Australian Mint and are currently awaiting delivery, we apologise for the delay.

Due to the incredible popularity of our August and September releases, the Mint’s dispatch is experiencing much higher than anticipated order volumes.  This has resulted in a delay to shipment of these products.

We anticipate that all current orders will be shipped and delivered by the end of September.

Thank you for your patience,
 

Kind Regards,
