History
Established in 1965, the Royal Australian Mint is renowned for producing Australia’s circulation coins and other esteemed silver coinage. The mint’s founding preceded Australia’s conversion to decimal currency in 1966, making it an integral part of the nation’s monetary heritage. In 2014, the Australian government unveiled plans to privatize the mint, further cementing its legacy.
