The Ground Floor, including our displays, shop and coin press, will remain open.

To protect and maintain the best possible quality of the 2009 $5 Fine Silver Proof Coin - International Year of Astronomy - Meteorite, coins should not be removed from the capsule nor exposed to extreme temperature or light conditions. If the coin is removed from the capsule the Royal Australian Mint is not obliged to replace or repair the coin or its components. Please refer to the Mint's Warranty and Returned Goods Policy on this website.

Mark down the following dates in your calendars: 3 - 6 July 2009, including a special shop launch on the evening of Monday 6 July 2009.

Why?

The Royal Australian Mint will counterstamp the 2009 Master Mintmark $1 Uncirculated Coin. This will be a rare opportunity to buy what will be a very significant and limited edition in our 2009 numismatic program.

Where?

Right here at the Royal Australian Mint; Denison Street in Deakin ACT.

The Royal Australian Mint will not have a sales stand at the ANDA Coin fairs in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne as we have done in past years. There will be no counter stamp coins at these shows. We may provide an unmanned display to showcase our latest releases. However, all product sales enquiries can be directed to your favourite coin shop at the show or by calling our sales team on 1300 652 020. Please keep an eye on our web page as we will use the notice board to update you on our attendance at coins fairs.
