The Sydney Mint is a historical and cultural landmark in Sydney's prime area near Hyde Park. One of the oldest public buildings, it went from being a section of Sydney Central or "Rum Hospital" to a "Mint". This building now houses multiple rental venues, museums and also an on-site cafe. The museum, primarily, gives an insight into the coining factory which was once a part of this building.
