Ordering

The Royal Australian Mint is the official sovereign mint of Australia. Founded in 1965 by the Currency Act of 1965, the mint was established in Canberra, the federal capital city, and took over Australian coining from the Perth Mint and Melbourne Mint. The Perth Mint is the only other mint that remains in operation in the country as a state-owned entity of the government of Western Australia.
