Retail Outlets – Sydney & Melbourne

Block Arcade

In 1994, Downies opened their retail outlet in Melbourne’s historic Block Arcade This beautiful building, which dates back to the 1880’s was the perfect choice when we were looking for a location in Melbourne’s central business district.



Block Arcade Coins provides for everyone. Whether an avid numismatic collector, tourists wishing to purchase a memento of their trip, or someone looking for a personal or corporate gift. With a vast selection of Ancient, World and predecimal coins, as well as a wide range of banknotes, Block Arcade Coins is a top spot for all your needs.

We not only stock the latest releases from Australia’s two mints, but as agents for several overseas mints there is always something new on offer.

As licensed secondhand dealers we are in a position to purchase your unwanted coins and banknotes.

Another branch of our company is Downies Australian Coin Auctions which is conveniently located within the Block Arcade. If you want to buy or sell through Public auction then Downies Australian Coin Auctions should be your first port of call.

If you have not already made a visit to us, we would encourage you to do so, ask about our Bonus Points rewards and join our mailing list, or purchase threepences and sixpences for your Christmas puddings.
