	Sydney (Australia) - MSN Encarta
		Sydney is the seat of state government as the capital of New South Wales (NSW), Australia’s most populous and economically important state.
		Sydney is located on Australia’s southeastern coast at Port Jackson, a large, sheltered, deep-water inlet of the Tasman Sea (part of the South Pacific Ocean).
		Sydney’s population density is among the lowest of any major world city, in part because suburban expansion began in earnest in the late 19th century after mechanized transportation became available.

	1923 sixpence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		It is quite likely that all the 1923-dated sixpences were minted in Sydney and that the Melbourne coins all bore a date of 1922.
		All twelve dies were shipped to the Sydney Mint, and are recorded in the Sydney Mint's die account book as having arrived there on 17/5/23.
		Since none of the dies was retained in Melbourne, it seems quite likely that the 200,000 coins minted there were struck using the 1922 dies.
