		During the 19th Century, three branches of the Royal Mint of London were established in the Australian colonies to refine gold from the gold rushes and to mint gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns for the British Empire.
		The then Premier of Western Australia, Sir John Forrest, asked the British Government to establish a branch of the Royal Mint in Perth to refine the gold being produced in the Eastern goldfields and to mint it into British gold coins to be used as currency in the colony.
		These were not strictly Australian coins, as they were identical to those struck by all branches of the Royal Mint throughout the Empire.

	Royal Australian Mint - 2002 Proof Coin Set (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Year 2002 Proof and uncirculated sets are dedicated to that familiar, but largely undefined, perhaps even mystical area of a great land - the Outback - an area Australians affectionately refer to as the 'back of beyond', 'beyond the fl stump', 'back o' Bourke', to mention just a few terms.
		To many Australians it is simply 'out there', an intriguing inland area of amazing colors, unique landscapes and great distances.
		The red earth colors so characteristic of the Australian Outback have been simulated in the coin holder of the Proof sets while the brilliant blues of distant weathered ranges and the wide open skies are evident in the hues of the Proof wallet.

		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.
		Mint marks were frequently added by hand to working dies and so are subject to the same sorts of variation as for date numerals.

	The History of Bi-metallic Coins
		The U.S. Mint experimented with a bi-metallic cent to keep the size of the coin manageable and meet the requirements of the Coinage Act of April 2, 1792.
		Each was made by hand at the Mint, workmen first making the copper blank and then punching out a small hole, and next inserting the silver plug, and finally striking the coins using the appropriate dies.
		These coins are minted in many different combinations of precious and base metals: yellow and white gold, gold and silver, silver and titanium, silver and nickel, non-magnetic stainless steel and aluminium bronze, and combinations of copper or brass and nickel, etc.
