The Perth Mint
- Australian government coins
Question:
Where does Australia produce its gold and silver coins?
Perth Mint opened for
business in 1899
Step back in time for a moment to the days when Australia was controlled
by the British Empire.
Several British colonies on the Australian continent joined together to
form what we now know as Australia.
It was during this colonial period when the Perth Mint opened (in
1899). Located in “Western
Australia” it became the 3rd branch mint of the British Royal
Mint in that continent. The Sydney and Melbourne mints also existed for
a while, but were eventually closed.
During The Australia GOLD RUSHThe Perth Mint gains
prominence
When significant gold discoveries were made in the colony a huge gold
rush ensued. Like the
California gold rush in the USA, large numbers of prospectors flocked to
Western Australia in hopes of striking it rich.
Gold Coins and Bars
Produced at the Perth Australia Mint
Those that were fortunate in finding gold would turn their gold bullion
in at the Perth Mint to be refined into
gold bars or minted into gold coins.
During these early years the Perth Mint produced over 100 million
gold coins.

Over time, the mint began making copper and then silver Australia
government legal tender coins for commerce and to be used in
circulation.
Until 1970 British jurisdiction controlled the mint.
In 1970 ownership of the mint officially transferred to the Government of
Western Australia.
In 1987 the Australia Department of the Treasury gave the Perth Mint new
powers to mint and sell silver, gold and platinum legal tender coins to
other countries, individuals, and investors.
If you are ever fortunate enough to visit Australia, consider visiting the Perth Mint. You've got to see it!
In 2003 a
new mint building was constructed right next the old historic mint.
They provide guided tours.
There you can tour the mint museum and view some of the largest
gold nuggets in the world.
You can also see how the mint operates and maybe even watch a
traditional “gold bar pour”, where molten gold is poured into solid gold
bars!
