Guided school programs are 60 minutes in length and are a popular way for school groups of all ages to explore the Royal Australian Mint. Guided school programs can be booked on the Book Canberra Excursions portal.

A Visitor Experience Host will meet your group in the foyer, check your group in, and take you on a 45-minute program. You’ll discover the stories behind some of the significant items in our national coin collection and look down into the factory from our viewing platform as we take you through the process of producing coins. We will even introduce you to a few of the robots who work at the Mint! Our programs can be adjusted to any year group. The program will conclude with 15 minutes in the coin shop, including the opportunity for each student to mint their own $1 coin (please encourage students who would like to mint a coin to bring $3 in cash with them).

Teachers must remain with their groups and are responsible for their students’ welfare and behaviour at all times. Groups that arrive early will not be permitted to enter the Mint’s coin shop or gallery space before their booked start time.
