Noticeboard

The sun is setting for the final time on our Golden Kangaroo.

Marking 150 years since the convict era of Rascals and Ratbags, the Royal Australian Mint is landing in a town near you. To celebrate their special contribution to Australia’s history, heritage and folklore, you’re invited to get up to a bit of mischief yourself, by counterstamping your very own commemorative Rascals & Ratbags $1 coin. Our mobile minting team will be touring around the country, stocked with a range of special products, coin swaps and just as many great stories to share.

Australia’s newest circulating coin arrives on Monday 23 July.

Join the Royal Australian Mint in Sydney or Brisbane to get your hands on the coins before they hit circulation.

Sydney Coin Swap

Join Dr Rick Williams for a free public talk about the impressions stamped on coins from Southern Italy in the 6th and 5th centuries BC and how their minting relates to Australia’s first coins - the holey dollar and dumps made in New South Wales in 1813. How do they compare? Can we draw links between the methods used to make them?

Where: Education Room at the Royal Australian Mint, Denison Street, Deakin, ACT
Price: Free of charge but bookings recommended

The Mint will be travelling to Dubbo, Wagga Wagga, Sydney, Parramatta and Wollongong during the second leg of the 2018 Road show. This year’s Roadshow showcases the 2018 Ratbags and Rascals: Australia’s Convict Era Collection.

Our team are excited to bring you the opportunity to trade for the latest products, get fresh change and stamp a special coin.

Dates and times to be advised.

Due to a change in policy, the Royal Australian Mint can no longer offer Circulating Coin Sachets for purchase through our online store or contact centre, effective from July 1, 2018. This change of policy has been made to ensure the Mint’s continued compliance with Australia’s Taxation regulations.

From July 1, sachets of circulating coins will only be available as a Coin Swap (cash only) at our Roadshow, Pop-Up and Coin Swap Events.  We apologise for any inconvenience and encourage our collectors to take advantage of this limited window of availability.
