Royal Australian Mint
Royal Australian Mint
Overview
The Royal Australian Mint is a multi-tourism award-winning cultural attraction, a working factory and a Commonwealth Heritage Site. The Mint is where Australia's coins are made—and where history, craftsmanship, and family adventures come to life.
Located just minutes from the heart of Canberra and open seven days a week, with regular public transport services, the Mint offers free on-site parking with six EV charging stations, free entry, free tours, accessible facilities and a café.
As a world-class Mint and a global leader in the mint industry, the Mint produces circulating coins for Australia and other countries; collectible and investment coins; and custom-made medals, medallions and tokens. Each piece is a conversation starter and history marker.
Whether you're exploring rare collections or planning a fun, educational outing with the kids, there's something for everyone to discover.
Make it a must-see on your visit to Canberra.
