Making a mint

Inspired by their favorite sight in Canberra, the Royal Australian Mint, my nephews have made a mint of their own. As in Canberra, the giant robot who transports vats of coins - Titan, "biggest in the southern hemisphere"! - was detained by technical difficulties, but we got by with the aid of a faux-Lego Smurf.
Our actual stamping - naturally to our own hand-drawn designs - remains satisfyingly manual.
