Where are coins and notes made in Australia?

Coins and notes in Australia are not made in Australia. The Royal Australian Mint (RAM) is the sole producer of Australian coins, however, they do not print Australian banknotes.

Coins:

The Royal Australian Mint, located in Canberra, produces all Australian coins. The Mint was established in 1965 and is responsible for designing, producing, and distributing all circulating coins for Australia, including commemorative coins. The RAM sources the necessary metals from various suppliers worldwide, primarily sourcing raw materials such as gold, silver, copper, and nickel.

Banknotes:

Australian banknotes, also known as polymer banknotes, are not printed in Australia either. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) contracts an external supplier, currently Note Printing Australia (NPA), to print and supply banknotes. NPA is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of Australia and has production facilities in Melbourne, Victoria, and Craigieburn, Victoria. These facilities are equipped with advanced printing technology and security measures to ensure the highest quality and security standards for Australian banknotes.
