Mint 400 is Ammonia's debut studio album. It was released in Australia in 1995. The album received its title from an auto race described in Hunter S. Thompson's book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

The album was produced by legendary American producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Slayer). Recorded in only 10 days at Festival Studios in Sydney, the recording captured the band's live sound, avoiding excessive overdubs and studio manipulation.

Mint 400 was an immediate hit in Australia, debuting in the national charts at Number 15. The album went out of print in March 2002.
