Why it's worth checking out
The Royal Australian Mint, on Denison Street at Deakin in Canberra, is where the nation's circulating coins are made — and one of the capital's most engaging attractions. A working mint with an excellent visitor centre, it offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how coins are designed and produced, complete with viewing galleries over the factory floor.
The appeal is that combination of genuine industry, history and interactivity: watching the coin-making process, exploring exhibits on the nation's currency and its history, and the popular chance to mint your very own coin as a souvenir. It's an absorbing, hands-on destination for families and the curious, and general entry is free.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 6,000 reviews, it's a much-loved attraction. General admission is typically free, but opening hours, the coin-minting experience and any special exhibitions vary, so it's worth checking current details before you visit — and allowing time to take in the production galleries and exhibits, and to mint your own coin, which is a particular hit with kids.
