	Numismatics - Australia - A guide to Australian pre-decimal coins
		The local mints in Sydney and Melbourne had been employed in the striking of gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns but were not prepared to cope with the new currency and for the first few years Australian coins were ordered from the Royal Mint in London.
		Mint marks were frequently added by hand to working dies and so are subject to the same sorts of variation as for date numerals.
		With the outbreak of World War I the Royal Mint found itself unable to meet the demand for Australian coinage in addition to its other commitments and in 1914 and 1915 some of the production was sub-contracted to the mint of Heaton and Sons in Birmingham.

	Numismatics: Australia: 1922/1 overdate threepence
		About all we get from this concerning the 1922 threepenny reverse is that the Melbourne Mint had five in stock at the end of January 1922, presumably pressed from a hub which had been received from London at some earlier time.
		Furthermore, since two master punches for 1922 had been supplied by the Royal Mint in January 1922, there had been no imperative for the Melbourne Mint to engage in a redating exercise.
		that the 1922/1 threepence is a genuine overdate produced by hand-stamping a 2 onto one of the seven 1921 reverse dies in stock in mid-January 1922, perhaps as an experiment to test the possibility of using some of the newly-pressed but obsolete reverse dies.
