The Royal Australian Mint (RAM) is in Canberra and has the sole responsibility of minting all of Australia's circulating coins.
The Perth Mint is wholly owned by the Western Australian Government and is operated by Gold Corporation. The Perth Mint produces much of Australia's bullion coins, most of the Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) coins for Australia and many other products including nuggets, medals, medallions, and produces precious metal blanks for other mints.
It is Australia's only major gold refiner and one of the largest in the world. The Perth Mint also carries out similar work for other countries.

How much gold is in a standard Australian 1 Dollar coin?
Australia has never produced a Sovereign or Half-Sovereign coin as a part of its currency. Prior to Federation, the Australian colonies produced Sovereign and Half-Sovereign coins for Britain during the later part of the 19th Century, from about 1870. Also, Sovereign and Half-Sovereign coins were produced at the newly opened Sydney branch of the Royal Mint in about 1855 with the word AUSTRALIA on the reverse. It should be noted that at this period of history, Australia was a very loose confederation of Colonies governed from Britain. Australia had not yet become a country and did not have its own currency. Irrespective of the Mint or location, "Australian" Sovereigns weigh in at 7.9881 grams, are 1.52 mm thick, have a diameter of 21.05 mm, fineness is 22 carat or 91.67% gold, and the gold content is 7.3224 grams, as per the British standard.
