Source

The Royal Australian Mint is located in the federal capital city of Canberra, specifically on Denison Street in the suburb of Deakin. Its location makes it easily accessible for visitors who are touring the capital city.

Structure of the Royal Australian Mint

The Royal Australian Mint comprises two buildings: an administration building and a process building. The administration building is home to the engravers, a laboratory, and a vibration-free basement where the coinage is measured to ensure its correct size and weight. This offers visitors a unique insight into the meticulous process of coin production.

Interactive Experience at the Royal Australian Mint

One of the unique experiences offered by the Royal Australian Mint is the opportunity for visitors to mint their own legal tender coin using visitor presses. This interactive experience provides a hands-on understanding of the minting process.
