With a New Year comes a fresh new look and that is just what we are going to do with our New Year event celebrations at the Mint!

We have changed things up to create more opportunities for people to engage in the New Year celebrations with us.

New Year’s Eve – Last coin of the year

Similar to last year, we will hold a lucky door draw. However, this year we will actually draw the last ten customers to strike a coin.

The Royal Australian Mint has teamed up with the Australian National University Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics to officially launch a new product and discuss intriguing questions like: Can humans really survive in space? Is there life elsewhere in our Solar System?

These are just two of the questions that will be explored in a fascinating night of space exploration.
