Making Money

On Friday we went to the Royal Australian Mint. Pretty interesting. Australia didn't start making it's own money until about 70 years ago. The current currency (decimal coinage) wasn't minted until 1965.

This staircase has real coins and blanks behind the glass. I think it looks pretty and cool.

This big robot is named Titan. He dumps big barrels of coin blanks into the hopper and they are on their way to being made into money. The operator had Titan dancing for us too. After he poured the money into the hopper, he bowed.
