Macquarie Mint are excited to join the suite of brands under Downies Collectables for a new and improved shopping experience at www.downies.com. There, we will be joining with brands Downies, Biante and Apex Replicas to make your collectables experience the best in Australia.

The countdown is on and we are very excited. The move will take place soon, with the closure of Macquarie Mint’s website, set to be announced closer to the end of July. You’ll be able to browse and buy all the products from the Downies Collectables family of brands in one place with one easy checkout.

Ken Downie, Downies Collectables Managing Director, said: “We are ecstatic with the launch of our new website and the merge of Downies, Macquarie Mint, Biante and Apex Replicas. Our new website is designed to deliver a transformed online experience for our customers and create a one-stop-shop for all varieties of collectors.”

Macquarie Mint will continue to offer the ease and convenience of their best-selling subscription plans, and you’ll be kept up-to-date through our emails and catalogue mail-outs. Your regular subscription deliveries will continue without interruption.

The current Macquarie Mint website will operate as usual until the move. Once the move is complete, you’ll not only be able to find all of Macquarie Mint’s best-selling product, but you’ll be able to browse an online treasure-trove across all of the Downies Collectables brands – bringing you the absolute best the world has to offer in coins and collectables.

When the new website opens, we’ll email you to be the first to discover the best collectables in Australia. We look forward to helping you to collect the things you love.

Our Client Services Team is always happy to help, you can email them or call 1300 798 368 Monday-Friday 9am-5pm EST.

Fans of Sir Elton John may still be reeling from his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour and retirement announcement.

But some relief may be found in The Royal Mint’s announcement to produce a series of coins that pay tribute to his legacy.

In his time, Elton John has made more than 4,000 performances and sold over 300 million records worldwide. Producing an incredible number of hit singles, Elton is undoubtedly one of the world’s truly great music superstars.

The legal tender coins come in 99.9% pure gold, silver and non-precious metal and feature his iconic glasses and straw boater hat on the reverse side.

Sir Elton is pleased to have his contribution to the music industry recognised this way. "The last few years have contained some of the most memorable moments of my career, and this is another truly humbling milestone on my journey", he said.

Downies has secured a small allocation of the collection as an official distributor for the Royal Mint, so get in quick and secure yours today!
