Rob if they have the 20 bags of 2018 Anzac $1 I would love 2 bags thanks  :heart:

I know this probably sounds silly to some, but I haven't been to one of the Mint's coin swaps before. I'm thinking of taking little Uni (7) to the Port Macquarie one and was wondering how the "coin swaps" actually work.

My question is ..... do you have to take actual coins to swap? or just cash? 

Do the same rules apply for the mint your own? ie: Do you give them a dollar?

Thanks in advance.

[JeffH]

Give them legal currency of any sort and they are happy.

[seedyrom]

You swap a $20 note for a $20 bag of coins.
You swap a $10 note for a $10 bag of coins.

It's cash only, so don't go there expecting to put it on VISA card.


Though they have the rest of the product sets which are quite pricey, so you would think you should be able to use cashless payment methods. Maybe they are just display items.

The mint your own coin is not a "bring your own coin" affair. It costs $10, and they punch a counterstamp into an uncirculated $1 coin, put it into a folder and hand it to you. You get to push the button yourself to do the cointerstamp.

Excellent ...... thanks for the info guys!

It's cash only, so don't go there expecting to put it on VISA card.

Worked for me. They have EFTPOS, though its somewhat less than 100% reliable.

They have eftpos for non coin swap items
Pop up shops are usually near a shopping center that has most bank macines if not just go to Woolworths to get cash
