The RBA is a marvel of public service and should be admired by all other government departments. Reserve Bank Governor Philip Lowe has made my experience of learning the HSC Economics course an absolute pleasure. I commend you sir, and implore you to continue your excellent work, be it through conventional, or indeed unconventional monetary policy
The museum has a great history of the country's contribution to numismatics and polymer currency production
Not too bad at central banking, big fail on the $5 'extensive consultation'.
Which nobody knew about and which assumed the answer - a picture of the queen.
Their reaction to the backlash - just ignore it, of course.
hey great job inflating housing bbuble and bleeding the country
Good monetary policy, terrible customer service, 3/5
why is it that your website cannot be reached on occasions like today???
They have a free self guided tour (also group guided tours) where you can look through Australia's history of money (and a bit of Aussie history along the way) seeing the evolution of the first notes and coins used in Australia to the world's first polymer currency and the notes we use today. The Australian spin-off now makes plastic currency for several countries. Takes about 2 hours if you read through everything, otherwise it can be a quick one hour perusal.
Dont know why RBA lets people give them a google review haha
Without a doubt one of the best central banks in the world. Thank you for the low and stable inflation over the last 20 years.
Not happy, my federal bank notes become less and less in value every day.

wouldn't let me past the vault door, not funny, not epic
The main skill set of this organisation is cutting interest rates to absurd record low levels, which has the effect of damaging savers and encouraging debt-fuelled real estate speculation in Australia's cities. The long term effect of this will not be pretty.
A high savings rate and investment is what causes an economy to grow. This has been understood throughout history by a range of economists ranging from Adam Smith to Karl Marx.
It is very difficult for an economy to grow sustainably over the long term with interest rates at these absurd levels.
It is a small, free cozy museum. If you are interested in the evolution of the coins ... and a little history, this will be a destination for you
They spend all this time and money yet they aren t doing the CRITICAL research! They need to except that causation AND correlation is the SAME THING!
Also tried to open an account and they said they weren t that kind of bank.
1/5 confused stars
The School Holiday Program was run very professionally and with enthusiasm. Great job!
I love Monetary Policy! Governor Lowe is doing a great job, as the RBA has since the mid-1990s.
Australia's central bank owns by the Commonwealth of Australia. Was established in 1960 as central bank and banknotes issuing. This building stands out in Martin Place. I always noticed the sculpture, Free Standing, just outside the main entrance from Martin Place. I love coming here to visit the museum and noticed a lot of school children doing the same tour. The museum opens Monday to Friday from 10am to 4PM. Worth doing the guided tours which takes about half hour to do. Lovely interior with great welcoming staffs onsite to guide you. Worth exploring especially the museum and the history of this important institution and money. Martin Place station is right next door.
