The 1966 One Cent was minted at Melbourne, Perth and Canberra. To distinguish the mint of manufacture just look closely at the left-most whiskers of the possum. If the left most whisker is blunted then the coin was minted in Melbourne. If the second from the left most whisker is blunted then the coin was minted in Perth. If neither is blunted then the coin was minted in Canberra.

No blunted whiskers indicates minted in Canberra.

Left most whisker is blunted indicates the coin was minted in Melbourne.

Second from the left most whisker is blunted indicates the coin was minted in Perth.
