Minting at non Canberra mints.

[Triggersmob]

A friend of mine just asked me why some of the early 80's coins were minted in Perth and Wales. I haven't any idea. Can someone enlighten me. Cheers.

umm
I think there was a strike in 1981 at the Canberra mint

There was a strike at the RAMINT that meant coins were minted elsewhere including Canada - (3 1/2 claw 20 cent).

Production gets farmed out when there are capacity problems. Like when we switched to decimal, when there's a strike, when Lizzy finally falls off the perch..

Thanks for the replies.
I will let my friend know.
