The huge piece of equipment was craned high into the sky and down to the factory-floor through a temporary opening in the roof. The new coin press provides extra production capacity for the Mint's large silver coins, particularly the popular 1 kilo Australian Kookaburra, Koala and Lunar releases. Shop CCF Members on eBay.
